One of the crucial selling points of the Tesla Semi is its total cost of ownership (TCO) that advocates highlight as a clear advantage over diesel trucks. A recent comparison showcased how operating a diesel truck incurs costs around 12.2 times higher than an electric truck in terms of fuel expenses alone. In an example, a Tesla Semi covering 1,076 miles cost merely $322, contrasting sharply with the diesel truck’s fuel expenses of $3,936. This staggering cost gap illustrates the practicality and financial incentives that the Tesla Semi presents to logistics and freight companies.
