The Tesla Semi, Musk’s electric answer to diesel trucks, is rolling out in 2025 with a promise to haul 80,000 pounds over 500 miles on a single charge—a feat that could decarbonize freight. Unveiled in 2017, its sleek cab and instant torque have logistics giants like PepsiCo and UPS testing fleets, with early reports praising its quiet power and lower fuel costs.

Musks claim of a million-mile lifespan, thanks to durable batteries, challenges the throwaway culture of trucking, though production delays have frustrated eager buyers. Built with Autopilot baked in, the Semi hints at a future of driverless convoys, slashing labor costs. Range skeptics and charging infrastructure gaps remain hurdles, but Musk’s vision of clean, efficient hauling is gaining traction, one electrified mile at a time. The Semi isn’t just a truck—it’s Tesla’s bid to own the road’s heavy lifters.
