According to the firm, the operational costs of the Tesla Semi trucks will be $1.26 per mile,

compared to $1.51 per mile for diesel trucks with larger ranges.

Before the Tesla Semi to actually start saving money compared to the diesel standard of operation,

That is more than a similar Class 8 diesel-powered truck costs,

so Tesla Semi would have to make a strong case for switching to electricity in order to convince fleet owners and drivers to do so.

Even while a Tesla Semi truck will cost far more than its diesel-powered counterpart,

Tesla predicts that its electric Semi trucks would operate 20% more affordably, saving around $250,000 over the course of a million kilometres.

The SEmi truck travels between 80,000 and 100,000 miles annually,

When comparing diesel versus electric trucks, the retail price of the Semi is typically brought up.
