"The Tesla Semi Long Range has an 822-kilowatt-hour usable battery capacity, according to the CARB document. With an advertised energy consumption of 1.7 kWh/mile, the theoretical maximum driving range comes out to 483 miles, but the driver would have to set off with a full battery and drive until the truck can no longer move under its own power. It's also 17 miles shorter than Tesla's approximation."
"The company claims on its website that the Standard Range model can deliver a maximum of 800 kW, too, but the CARB document contradicts that claim, saying that it can deliver up to 525 kW. Battery-wise, the Semi Standard Range has a 548 kWh battery pack. With an average energy consumption of 1.7 kWh/mile, the maximum range comes out to 322 mileson par with Tesla's approximately 325 miles claim."
"The Tesla Semi has huge batteries. It's not exactly a surprise, seeing how the Long Range model is advertised as being capable of driving up to 500 miles on a full charge while carrying a full load. That said, Tesla never published the battery capacities for the Semi, forcing everyone to rely on napkin math to come up with a figure. Now, though, an official document from the California Air Resources Board has let the cat out of the bagincluding an unpleasant surprise."
"The Semi Long Range weighs 23,000 pounds and has a gross combination weight of 82,000 pounds. Its maximum power output is 800 kW, courtesy of the three electric motors powering the rear axles. The Standard Range version has a curb weight that slips under 20,000 lbs, but its gross combination weight is 82,000 lbs, the same as the Long Range model."
CARB published official battery capacities for Tesla Semi models. The Long Range version has 822 kWh usable battery capacity and an advertised energy consumption of 1.7 kWh per mile, yielding a theoretical maximum range of about 483 miles under conditions where the truck can no longer move under its own power. This is about 17 miles shorter than Tesla’s stated approximation. The Long Range has a maximum power output of 800 kW from three electric motors powering the rear axles. CARB lists the Standard Range maximum power output as up to 525 kW, contradicting Tesla’s 800 kW claim. The Standard Range has a 548 kWh battery pack and a theoretical maximum range of about 322 miles, aligning with Tesla’s roughly 325-mile claim.
