Presentation of a new electric truck from Tesla was scheduled for October 26, 2017. All were looking forward to this event, and Tesla is even slowly beginning to “merge” the information about the product, and recently the truck had allegedly accidentally “lit up” on a couple of pics taken surreptitiously by someone from passers-by or employees. Unfortunately, today Elon Musk said via Twitter that the truck in October will not show, and the presentation is postponed to November 16.
According to the head of Tesla, due to the fact that all the company’s resources thrown at solving the problem with the production of Model 3 and for the supply of battery powerwall for Puerto Rico and other hurricane affected areas.
Tesla unveil Semi now Nov 16. Diverting resources to fix Model 3 bottlenecks & increase battery production for Puerto Rico & other affected areas.

Hurricanes “Irma” and “Mary” struck the power grids in Puerto Rico, very serious damage, so the earlier Elon Musk has offered to replace affected segments of the grid on solar panels with energy storage systems. The experience of the engineers Tesla is already there, because earlier they have already provided electricity to the whole island, so a lot of problems with the implementation of such a project in Puerto Rico should not be. It is reported that the delivery is ready for installation of equipment has begun.
As for the Tesla Model 3, then the company will have to strain all available resources despite ambitious plans to increase the number of produced cars at the moment, from the factory, the company went only about three hundred cars.
In any case, the postponement of the upcoming presentation of the truck on the background of the above problems does not look so sad.
