Tesla Semi's 500-Mile Range Is Calculated With Cargo, Says Musk via insideevs.com
. Early on, some people were posting on social media that the truck's range wasn't likely enough. While the comments may have applied to the base model, even 300 miles of range with the larger battery could prove to be minimal for people who are working the truck hard and towing and hauling.
During Tesla's Q3 2022 earnings call, Musk attempted to dispel concerns and/or rumors that due to the Semi truck's heavy batteries, it may not be able to pull off its 500-mile targeted range. In fact, the CEO said the Semi's range estimate applies to when it's hauling cargo, which makes sense. Musk shared via Teslarati:
“We will begin ramping up production of the Tesla Semi. No sacrifice to cargo capacity, 500-mile range. Just to be clear, 500 miles with the cargo on level ground." Musk was clear to note that traveling up an incline would obviously reduce the truck's range. However, when EVs head downhill, they can recoup energy thanks to their regenerative braking systems. He went on to try to further dispel previous skepticism about the Semi, stating:
“But the point is, it’s a long-range truck and even with heavy cargo. And the number of times people tell, ‘No, you can’t — it’s impossible to make a long-range heavy-duty Class 8 truck.’"
