A traditional Semi-truck typically runs on diesel fuel and the range it can travel on a full tank can vary depending on several factors such as the size of the fuel tank,
the engine size, the aerodynamics of the vehicle and the weight of the cargo being carried.
On average, a traditional diesel-powered semi-truck has a range of around 600-800 miles on a full tank.
However, this can vary greatly and might be less if the truck is fully loaded or if it is traveling in hilly or mountainous terrain.
In contrast, the Tesla Semi is an electric vehicle and it does not have a traditional fuel tank. Instead, it uses a high-capacity battery pack to power the electric motors that drive the truck.
According to Tesla, the Semi can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge, which is significantly less than the range of a traditional diesel-powered semi-truck.
However, Tesla Semi is equipped with Megacharger, a high-speed charger that can add up to 400 miles of range in 30 minutes, enabling the truck to be back on the road in the shortest possible time.
Additionally, the range of the Tesla Semi can be extended by incorporating additional battery packs, depending on the requirements of the haul.
