A Little Good News for Tesla's Big Forgotten Product
Tesla's Semi is generating serious interest, backed by impressive results -- and potential customers are taking notice.
A Little Good News for Tesla's Big Forgotten Product
Overview
With all the hype surrounding Tesla's (NASDAQ: TSLA) future ambitions that include humanoid robotics, driverless vehicles, and artificial intelligence, you can be forgiven for being sidetracked by Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO. It's easy to lose track of a product that was promised as early as 2019. Brushing aside the delayed debut, Tesla has a second chance to disrupt the truck market, and it's already going far, far better than the Cybertruck's attempt to crack the full-size truck market. Tesla's Semi has been stacking orders and, in even better news, is performing incredibly well, all while impressing truckers.
Let's preface this with a caveat: Ignore this specific sales figure and focus instead on the independently verified performance. That said, ArcBest (NASDAQ: ARCB), a multibillion-dollar logistics company, recently purchased two Tesla Semi EVs. We'll get to better sales news in a moment, but what led to this small purchase and the extension of testing was a wildly successful 2025 pilot program in which the company averaged 1.55 kWh per mile over nearly 4,500 miles.
