Tesla has started production of its electric Semi, which has a range of up to 500 miles per charge and the ability to recharge to 70% in a half-hour.

The truck arrives with many of the specifications originally promised, however, including a range of 500 miles per charge fully loaded. Tesla showed a video of a truck operating at its maximum combined weight of 82,000 pounds accelerating up a 6% grade at highway speeds and a time-lapse of one that weighed 81,000 pounds completing a 500-mile trip from Tesla's factory in Fremont, California, to San Diego on a single charge. Electric Semis are allowed to operate at, rather than the traditional maximum of 80,000 pounds to accommodate the added weight of their batteries.
For comparison, a Tesla Model S Plaid's battery has a capacity of 100 kilowatt-hours. The weight of the battery and the Semi itself were not disclosed, so its cargo carrying capacity compared to a diesel semi remains unknown to the public. Competing electric tractors from Freightliner, Volvo and Nikola all have shorter ranges, but smaller batteries.
