The price of diesel fuel, the size of the fuel tank, and the distance the vehicle will be going are just a few of the variables that
might affect the cost of filling up a conventional diesel-powered semi-truck.
Depending on the size of the fuel tank, the price of diesel fuel at the time, and the distance the truck will be going,
the typical cost to fill up a semi-truck can range from $300 to $700.
However, if a semi-truck is going a long distance or if diesel fuel costs are high,
the cost of filling up the truck may be significantly higher.
The cost of maintenance and repairs is another aspect that may have an impact on the price of filling up a semi-truck.
Traditional semi-trucks fuelled by diesel must undergo routine maintenance and repairs,
which can raise the cost of ownership.The Tesla Semi, in contrast, is an electric truck that does not require conventional fuel.
Instead, the truck's electric motors are driven by a high-capacity battery pack.
The price of electricity and the length of the truck's journey will determine how much it will cost to charge the Tesla Semi.
According to Tesla, operating a Tesla Semi will typically cost $1.26 per mile, compared to $1.51 for a diesel truck.
Despite the greater initial cost of the vehicle, it is anticipated that the cost of operating a Tesla Semi will be lower than that of a conventional semi-truck fuelled by diesel.
