Mind-Blowing' Electric Truck.

An electric semi truck Thursday that the company said will drive like a sports car.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said this week the rig "will blow your mind clear out of your skull and into an alternate dimension."

Musk's company has been quietly working on the truck project for two years under Jerome Guillen -- the man who ran Daimler's vaunted Freightliner semi-truck line before joining Tesla.

The electric trucks are expected to run 100 percent on battery power -- with lithium-ion cells laid flat against the floor, like other Tesla vehicles.

The batteries, though, are the single most expensive parts of the truck -- costing up to $100,000. Experts say any electric semi, regardless of size, would be more expensive than diesel counterparts because of the pricey batteries. Running a semi exclusively on electricity, however, could save thousands in fuel costs.

Tesla trucks will also require larger chargers than its other vehicles -- the Model S, Model X crossover SUV and the new Model 3.

The truck market in North America alone produces $30 billion in sales each year, or more than 250,000 trucks.

And it’s only fair if you consider the evolution the Google SERP has been through. It has gone all the way from “10 blue links”… … to something that makes you feel like you’re part of a Brazilian carnival. What can you do about it? With the evolution of SERP features, it’s critical that you (a) track your rankings within these fe

Personalized Search, How it works, what it means for SEO.

Google's search results grow increasingly personalized, SEOs are growing increasingly indignant. Tracking rankings — one of the main SEO KPIs — accurately has become a challenge with location, previous searches, and browser history affecting the results users get. The concept of accuracy itself has become somewhat vague: if there are as many SERP variations as there are locations, which one should you consider "accurate"? Even worse: with so many personalization factors stepping in, you may not be aware that your ranking data is skewed, influenced by some kind of personalization you didn't take into account. Could you be making the wrong decisions based on the wrong data?
