a lack of context led to debates on the internet about whether or not a Tesla Semi would be able to travel this distance with just one battery charge.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk claimed the electric Semi will be $20 per mile (12 cents per km) cheaper to run than the diesel truck

Because his Semi truck does not have multi-gear transmissions like diesel trucks, he said, it is also far easier to
