Tesla, which has started a revolution in the sector with the electric cars it has launched, works not only with passenger cars but also with commercial vehicles. For example “Semi Truck”. Work on the Semi, known as the company’s first fully electric truck, has been going on for years, and if nothing goes wrong, we will officially meet this truck in a few days.
If we are successful, Tesla Semi, which will change all the balances in the sector, is now with an important development. According to the statement made by Elon Musk, this electric truck managed to travel 800 kilometers with a full 36 thousand 741 kilograms. There were no problems during this long journey. As a footnote, a truck with an 800-liter tank can travel an average of 2,600 kilometers.
It has already received over 100 orders!
Tesla’s electric truck has already affected the industry. Because giant companies such as Pepsi and UPS, which are aware of the fact that electric vehicles are both cleaner and less complex, have already passed the Semi Truck order. According to the statements made, Elon Musk and his team have already sold more than 100 electric trucks. The final test, on the other hand, means that customers will wait for the day of delivery with peace of mind.
Elon Musk’s statement on Twitter is as follows:
The Tesla team traveled 800 kilometers with the Semi Truck loaded with 36,741 kilograms.
Tesla Semi Truck deliveries will begin as of December 2022. Customers will be able to purchase two different versions of the Semi Truck. One of them will offer a range of about 500 kilometers, and the other will offer a range of 800 kilometers. The test drive was made with the truck with a range of 800 kilometers. A person or institution that wants to own this electric truck will have to sacrifice 180 thousand dollars.
