needing to refuel depends on a number of variables, including the size of the fuel tank,

A conventional diesel-powered semi-truck can typically go between 600 and 800 miles on a single tank.

The Tesla Semi, in contrast, is an electric vehicle without a conventional fuel tank.

Instead, the truck's electric motors are driven by a high-capacity battery pack.
