Tesla electric truck reportedly aiming for up to 300 miles per charge

Tesla is set to reveal details of its first cargo-hauling all-electric semi truck in September – and media reports have indicated that vehicle may be capable of getting a range of between 200 and 300 miles per charge. In an “exclusive” report published yesterday (24 August), Reuters said that “Tesla’s efforts are centered on an electric big-rig known as a “day cab” with no sleeper berth, capable of traveling about 200 to 300 miles with a typical payload before recharging.”

This would put the Tesla vehicle at the low-end of the “long-haul trucking” sector.

However, this is all conjecture, for now at least. Reuters asked Tesla for an official comment, and received an email saying: “Tesla’s policy is to always decline to comment on speculation, whether true or untrue, as doing so would be silly.”
