Tesla will partner with French renewable energy company Neoen to build the 100-megawatt battery farm in South Australia state. Tesla is poised to begin testing a self-driving semi-truck in an advancement that could help revolutionize shipping, according to multiple reports. The Silicon Valley automaker met with transportation department officials in Nevada in June about its plans to test a driverless truck crossing between the states, according to a document obtained by Reuters. The company also had plans to meet Wednesday with Department of Motor Vehicles officials in California to discuss the plans, according to Reuters and Bloomberg. Tesla has long planned to reveal an electric semi-truck at an event in late September with production launching within two years.
