"Mone Transport recently had the opportunity to put the Tesla Semi to the test, and we're thrilled with the results! Over 4,700 miles of operations at 1.64 kWh/mile in our Texas operation. We're committed to providing zero-emission transportation to our customers!"
"Comparable Class 8 diesel semis, typically achieving 6-7 miles per gallon, consume roughly 5.5 kWh per mile in energy-equivalent terms, meaning the Semi uses three to four times less energy while also producing zero tailpipe emissions."
"ArcBest's ABF Freight Division logged 4,494 miles over three weeks in 2025, averaging 1.55 kWh per mile across varied routes, including a grueling 7,200-foot Donner Pass climb."
Tesla's Semi pilot program has expanded to Texas with logistics company Mone Transport, providing valuable real-world efficiency data as production begins. Mone Transport tested the Tesla Semi over 4,700 miles and recorded 1.64 kWh/mile efficiency, exceeding Tesla's official 1.7 kWh/mile target. This performance dramatically surpasses conventional Class 8 diesel semis, which consume approximately 5.5 kWh per mile in energy-equivalent terms, meaning the Semi uses three to four times less energy while producing zero tailpipe emissions. Other pilot participants like ArcBest's ABF Freight Division have reported comparable results, with 1.55 kWh/mile efficiency over 4,494 miles across varied terrain including challenging mountain passes.
