Tesla’s 500-mile Long Range Semi has entered a pilot program with Paper Transport (PTI), where it will be tested in Chicago’s challenging winter conditions. The program will evaluate real-world performance, reliability, and emissions reduction while gathering fleet data on the Semi’s 800 kW tri-motor powertrain, 1.7 kWh/mi efficiency, and Megacharging capability.
Cold-weather fleet testing is a key step in proving whether electric trucks can deliver dependable long-haul performance year-round.
If the Tesla Semi can handle a Chicago winter, my morning commute has officially run out of excuses.
