Elon Musk says Tesla's new Semi trucks are Ask Me What You Want (2024)BAMFs.
Yes, for those of you at home, that's the widely known acronym for "Bad Ass Mother F***er."
Musk playfully threw out the acronym as a "scientific term" Tesla's development team used as they designed the new big rigs. The name sounds ridiculous — but the specs, if they wind up being legit, are actually pretty impressive.

Musk showed off an animation of the Tesla Semi in a race against a traditional diesel truck, and the wait for the diesel truck to finish became comical.
Musk said the Tesla Semi can also achieve speeds of 65 mph up a 5 percent grade, compared to diesel trucks which can only achieve speeds of 45 mph.
That goes along with a 500 mile range per charge, at maximum weight at highway speed.
Musk says the company was able to achieve these performance number by designing the Semi after a bullet compared to diesel trucks that are more like "a barndoor."
There you have it: Elon Musk says the Tesla Semi trucks are BAMFs designed to drive like bullets. You should probably give them room on the highway.
