Tesla Semi Efficiency
Tesla, along with the companies that have been operating the vehicle in their pilot programs, have routinely flexed the efficiency of the Semi.
But Priestley said today at the conference that common industry numbers are approaching 100 kWh per 100 kilometers traveled.
The Semi has already achieved this.
It will only get better when Tesla comes back with a high-volume version of the Semi. Higher efficiency means lower battery mass and cost, meaning a less expensive product and more advantages for the customer.
