WTF? It's just a countdown and a place to enter an email. Why would I want to give my email to Tesla without having any idea what this is about?

I predict that when the Semi Unveil happens, they’ll only unveil half of the actual vehicle.

What it's about isn't exactly secret. Tesla has built an electric semi (truck). This is them unveiling it... in 15 minutes.

Presumably the email is to get a notification...

Edit: Turns out you actually have to enter a email... thankfully it doesn't verify anything.

They're unveiling a semi(truck). I agree about the sign-up, I'd rather not (and won't). But it's quite clear what is being revealed.

The page source seems to include all prices, and links to at least one pdf with details on semi reservation.

I'm really curious if it comes with big differences compared to modern trucks (except for being all-electric).

I also wonder why they try to push multiple models and niches when they can't even build enough Model 3s as they had expected.
