By actual performance Tesla Semi, electric truck Elon Musk’s company, there is a lot of curiosity. Many are wondering if this car will actually offer the levels of autonomy that the car’s manufacturer promised at the time of its launch (the 500-mile model will initially be offered). Deliveries of the first models will begin on December 1. Pepsi will be the first company to receive these trucks. Thus, soon, with the appearance of the first units on the roads, it will be possible to better understand the real performance of Elon Musk’s electric trucks.
Team Tesla just drove 500 miles in an 81,000 lb. Tesla Semi!

In the meantime, in order to keep the attention on these models, especially in connection with the mini-event that will be held to deliver the first units, Elon Muskvia his Twitter account said that the Tesla Semi has successfully completed a 500-mile trip with a full load (about 804 km). Recall that the Tesla Semi is 8th class truck with a total gross weight of about 37,195 kg.
What Elon Musk said is certainly interesting, even if there is not enough useful information that would allow a better understanding of the characteristics of an electric truck. The message makes it clear that 500 miles have been covered on a single charge, confirming the promised range. However we don’t know anything on the type of route, on average speed and on fuel consumption.
Details that may appear during the mini-event, which will take place on December 1st. However, truly clear information will only appear when the first third-party tests are carried out on this vehicle.
Tesla is certainly not the first manufacturer to roll out Class 8 electric trucks. However, on paper, it offers a model capable of promising much more range than other battery-powered trucks already on the market or about to debut. It remains only to wait for the first deliveries to see if these electric trucks can really keep their promises.
Recall that the presentation of Tesla Semi took place in 2017. Since then, development has taken much longer than expected and the road debut has been delayed several times.
