The Tesla Semi is an all-electric, heavy-duty semi-truck designed to match diesel trucks in efficiency and performance, with initial deliveries starting in

late 2022.

Power & Performance

•Tri-motor powertrain: Three independent electric motors, with one optimized for efficiency and two that engage as needed for acceleration or hill climbing.  

•Power comparison: Claimed to deliver roughly three times the power of a typical diesel semi.  

•Acceleration: As quick as 20 seconds from 0–60 mph (when fully loaded).  

Battery & Range

•Battery pack: Approximately 900 kWh, with a 1,000-volt system.  

•Range: Around 500 miles (~800 km) on a single charge—even when fully loaded.    

•Energy efficiency: Less than 2 kWh per mile.   

•Charging: With Tesla’s Megacharger network, it can regain ~70% charge in about 30 minutes, adding hundreds of miles.
