Semi exceeds expectations in the 3.000-mile test by DHL
$DHL (-0.11%).

In a two-week test, the Tesla Semi achieved an average consumption of 1.72 kWh per mile while reaching speeds of over 50 mph.

In another test, it covered 390 miles, even though it had a total weight of 75.000 pounds fully loaded.

"The results exceeded all of our expectations and even Tesla's own claims - the Tesla Semi is ready to make its grand entrance!" Source: Driveteslacanada

Hmmm ...

Okay, the DHL website actually says it like this: https://www.dhl.com/global-en/delivered/responsibility/dhl-tests-tesla-semi-electric-truck.html

And I have to admit: I didn't expect that. And I actually find it hard to believe. But DHL will know what they're writing. And the figures speak for themselves. So: congratulations, Tesla. That does indeed look impressive.

If you don't believe that, just search for the electric trucker on YT. He drives long distances electrically in Germany and gives really good insights.

A few important points:
- Charging is not such a problem, because the drivers are forced to take breaks anyway.
- Recuperation not only saves energy, but also saves a lot of brake pads.
- The power of the motors also makes it possible to drive uphill without creeping.

Musk is just throwing out one banger after another. He just wants to get into the White House at the big trough!

When the autonomous vehicles arrive, even more space will be saved on the tractor unit for more loading capacity.
They're all just waiting! 😅
