Electric trucks, which mean a lot to the logistics industry, become a serious choice with the involvement of Tesla. Although it has been a while since its announcement, Tesla continues to announce new developments for the electric truck Tesla Semi. Despite the disrupted development process in the pandemic, pre-orders for the truck have been opened. The amount that must be paid to order is a bit astonishing.
Tesla Semi will ask for a $20,000 deposit
As you can imagine, not everyone can participate in the pre-order purchases opened on Tesla’s website. In order to pre-order, you must first make a deposit of $20,000. If you stop buying the vehicle, this amount is refunded, but it is clear that it is a partially difficult criterion to meet. Since Tesla Semi will be in the logistics sector where millions of dollars are taken into account, 20,000 dollars is not too long for medium and large-sized companies.
The price of the vehicle starts from $150,000 and goes up to $180,000. This price increase occurs according to the range capacity selected. The price of the option that offers a range close to 500 kilometers is 150,000 dollars, while the price of the one that offers a range of 800 kilometers is listed as 180,000 dollars.
Although the Tesla Semi remains uncertain about the battery size, it was previously said that 2kW power is consumed in 1.6 kilometers. The most overlooked aspect of the Tesla Semi is cost, as logistics companies spend millions of dollars on fuel every month. An electric truck may be the new favorite of large-scale companies, the Tesla Semi, as it exhibits both greater efficiency and a greener image.
We have previously reported that companies with large logistics divisions such as Pepsi have pre-ordered the Tesla Semi. Now, we see that everyone is entering a process where they can pre-order. We hope that the Tesla Semi will set an example for the industry and more environmentally friendly distributions will be made with electric trucks.
