How to watch Elon Musk unveil Tesla’s new electric semi truck today

While Tesla continues to struggle to deliver on its promise of manufacturing its mass-market car, the Model 3, the company is unveiling a new line of vehicles: Electric semi trucks.

Elon Musk will unveil the trucks during a livestreamed event on Thursday, November 16, starting at 8 pm PT / 11 pm ET.

The company gave a sneak peek of the truck earlier this year, and again on Tesla’s Facebook page on Wednesday.

Tesla isn’t the only one working on electric trucks. Mercedes-Benz unveiled its own truck in October, and other companies have followed suit.

Tesla is developing the heavy-duty truck, first mentioned in part two of Musk’s master plan, to reduce the cost of cargo transport, according to the eccentric executive.

This is just one in a series of electric vehicles Musk wants to begin developing at Tesla. Eventually, the manufacturer will begin working on buses.

We’ll be updating this post with live video when it becomes available. And stay tuned for our coverage of the Tesla semi truck here and on Recode’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
