TESLA'S NEWEST ELECTRIC VEHICLE COULD JOLT THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Early reviews of the Tesla Semi suggest it could be a much-needed hit for the company. It is much less expensive than competing heavy-duty electric trucks and can travel farther. Cost and range are two of the main reasons that many logistics and delivery firms have been reluctant to buy electric trucks. Trucking firms in California have asked the state government for subsidies to help them buy more than 1,200 Tesla trucks, more applications than for all other electric trucks since the state's incentive program began in 2019.
