According to Sawyer Merritt on X, the Tesla Semi completed a 500-mile route at approximately 81,000 lbs gross weight with an energy consumption of about 1.7 kWh per mile, and he notes the EPA does not provide range ratings for electric Class 8 semi trucks. As reported by Sawyer Merritt, the cited 500-mile range figure is based on roughly 82,000 lbs GVW, implying higher range at lighter loads. According to his post, the run serves as a real-world demonstration video of the Tesla Semi’s efficiency, highlighting potential operating cost reductions for fleet electrification and route planning in heavy-duty logistics.

According to Sawyer Merritt on Twitter, Tesla has unveiled a new photo of the redesigned Tesla Semi, highlighting innovations in electric vehicle design. As reported by Sawyer Merritt, the updated Tesla Semi demonstrates Tesla’s commitment to advancing electric trucking technology, which could accelerate commercial adoption and disrupt the logistics industry. Businesses interested in sustainable transportation solutions should closely monitor these developments for emerging partnership and investment opportunities.
