Tesla's ambition with the Semi is ambitious and revolutionary. Musk's goal is to create a big rig that not only excels in performance but also retains the loyalty of truck drivers amidst a nationwide shortage. For the first time, an electric truck is able to travel up to 800 miles on a single charge, heralding a significant shift in the industry. This advancement has led to substantial fuel savings, with the Semi reportedly saving over one million gallons of diesel, translating to approximately $3.5 million.
The launch of the Semi faced numerous delays since its announcement in 2017, but mass production is now on the horizon, with expectations of around 10,000 units produced by the end of this year and 50,000 in the following year.
