    Who wouldn't love to have an option for AWD(a single motor to drive front wheels) and adaptive advanced air suspension settings? Although the Semi may come with the AAASS anyway.

    I haven't seen it mentioned but I also have to believe the Semi will come with same things mentioned by Elon regarding the Cybertruck in this tweet:

    Elon says in the tweet when asked "Can Cybertruck also have a payload/towing calculator?"
    "Yes, will also show real-time changes to max acceleration, braking, cornering, speed on gradient & range, latter factoring in route elevation changes & cargo or tow mass & drag impact"

    So it will be able to detect how large your load is and the drag it creates to calculate how far you can go on a charge So if I have 430 miles of range left and 500 miles to go it will tell me whether or not I can make it based on the load I'm towing

    I have to learn to be more explanatory!

    I found this "adaptive advanced air suspension settings" from Teslarati: Link Tesla Cybertruck's real-time adaptive features get closer with new suspension update Tesla Cybertruck's real-time adaptive features get closer with new suspension update

    "Tesla is currently rolling out version 2020.32.1 to its fleet, and among the improvements included in the update are new adaptive suspension settings and visualizations. The extensive details that Tesla included in its recent update seems to be a step towards the company’s eventual rollout of more advanced suspension features, such as those that Elon Musk previously announced for the Cybertruck."

    This is what I meant by the Tesla Semi having this same setup.
