Tesla Semi earns strong reviews veteran truckers
"Tom Sterba, a senior driver with Saia, praised the Semi's technology as a major step forward for the industry. "The navigation systems in these trucks are just unbelievable. That's what I love about it," he said. In a moment that has since been widely shared, Sterba added, "I do not want to go back to a gas truck. I hope I retire in this vehicle.""
"Another senior driver, Michael Davis, stated that he volunteered immediately when the Tesla Semi became available. He noted that the truck has not disappointed him, especially since it is a very powerful vehicle. "I wanted to drive something new, so I wanted to drive that Tesla truck, and it did not disappoint at all. I experienced no problems with the powertrain. It's total power," Davis said."
Run on Less by NACFE documented Saia freight drivers operating the Class 8 Tesla Semi across standard routes in real-world tests. Veteran drivers praised the Semi's navigation systems, usability, and powertrain reliability. One senior driver said he does not want to go back to a gas truck and hopes to retire in the Semi. Another senior driver volunteered immediately to drive the Semi and reported no powertrain problems, calling it "total power." Tesla is completing a dedicated Semi factory near Giga Nevada and expects initial production this year with a production ramp next year, targeting 50,000 units annually and offering lower emissions and reduced maintenance costs.
