CEO Elon Musk hasn't revealed many specific details about the big-rig truck, but he has promised that it will be mind-blowing.
"Tesla Semi Truck unveil to be webcast live on Thursday at 8pm! This will blow your mind clear out of your skull and into an alternate dimension. Just need to find my portal gun ..." Musk said via Twitter Sunday.
It's speculated that the truck will have a range of about 300 miles and will have an Autopilot-like feature that allows it to platoon with other Tesla trucks and operate autonomously while traveling on the highway.
The trucks design is also expected to be striking.
"If you're going to make a product, make it beautiful. Even if it doesn't affect sales, I want it to be beautiful," Musk said about the truck in a recent interview with the Rolling Stones.
Musk has also said that Tesla worked with major truck companies to design the all-electric big-rig.
"We have shown it to people who buy heavy-duty trucking, and they all love it. They just want to know how many can they buy and how soon," Musk said during Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, hosted in July at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
"We are getting them closely involved in the design process," he added.
Tesla is including the companies in the design process because it helps ensure their needs are met, Musk said. It's speculated the company may even announce trucking partners at the unveiling.
Tesla aims to begin full-scale production of the vehicle in two years, Musk has said. There's been no word on how much it will cost, but Morgan Stanley analysts predict it could cost as much as $100,000.
