Elon Musk seems excited about the new Tesla Semi truck he’s unveiling this month. After driving a prototype earlier this year, Elon declares it handles “like a sports car” but has more torque than a full-size diesel. So what does Musk’s truck mean for the future of hauling, delivery, and truck drivers?
The Tesla Semi is an all-electric full sized semi-truck, made to haul and deliver cargo. While Elon Musk’s new Semi only has a maximum distance range of 200 to 300 miles before needing to recharge according to TechCrunch, 200 miles is well within the route distance of most local delivery trucks.
That is the market Elon Musk is targeting with the Tesla Semi truck, at least for now. Architectural Digest explains urban delivery trucks have an average route of only about 70 miles. Local deliveries will likely be the first use of the Tesla Semi, but eventually, as the technology grows, expect to see The Tesla truck take to the open road.
