Tesla Semi, Tesla’s electric class 8 semi-truck, so its efficiency improves in a new trucking test that covers 4,494 miles over three weeks.
Tesla -Semi underwent significant changes in the years of delays.
Tesla officially revealed the “production version” in 2022, but the vehicle never entered the volume production. It is finally expected to happen at the end of the year at a new factory in Nevada.
When the unveiling of the “production version”, which turned out not to be the final production version, said Elon Musk that Tesla Semi has an efficiency of 1.7 kWh per day. Mile.
In September 2024, Tesla reported improvements in its own fleet after covering 250,000 miles. It claimed to achieve 1.6 kWh per day. Mile.
Last year, two Tesla semi -customers came closer to what Musk claimed in 2022. DHL got 1.72 kWh per day. Mil in their own test, and Saia got 1.73 kWh per day. Mile.
Now Tesla Semi seems to have improved a great deal in a new real-test of Logistics Company Arcbest.
The company claims to have set Tesla semi through regular operations that vary from track shipping to regional races over three weeks:
Over a period of three weeks, ABF served a Tesla semi across typical litigation paths, including routes across the road between service centers in Reno, Nevada and Sacramento, California. The pilot also included regional races in the Bay Area and railway -cutting operations.
ArcBest claims that Tesla semi average 1.55 kWh per day. Mile during the three weeks:
The electric semi logged 4,494 miles, an average of 321 miles a day with a total energy efficiency of 1.55 kWh per day. Mile.
Efficiency in the truck business varies significantly based on several factors, including the load, but it is nonetheless an impressive performance.
Dennis Anderson, Arcbest Chief Innovation Officer, commented on the test program:
“Shipping transport is an important part of the global economy and we know that it also plays a significant role in the total greenhouse gas emissions. While the path to decarbonization presents complex challenges – such as infrastructure needs and alternative fuel development – it also opens the door to innovation. We are working towards a more carried future with shipping. ”
Tesla says the truck should enter the volume production towards the end of the year and that the customer’s deliveries are expected to start next year.
While the efficiency of the electric truck has improved, we reported earlier that its price has increased significantly.
