Tesla Truck. Speed Record?

Just came across this site which explains how Volvo built a couple of trucks creating and breaking speed records. I love how at the end of the article they mention the Tesla truck and how Tesla might decide to break the Volvo record on introduction of their truck.

This truck hauls: Volvo Iron Knight breaks semi speed records

He got the records, breaking ones he already held. But there could be some electrifying competition on the horizon.

Tesla also claimed a speed record this week. It says its new Model S P100D sedan can do 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, making the world’s quickest production car on sale today. Tesla also recently announced that it plans to put a battery-powered semi in production within a few years. Seeing as how the company loves to tout the “ludicrous” speed of its cars, can a lightning-quick electric truck be far behind?
