A fully loaded trailer & Tesla Semi weighs 82,000 pounds, so a substantial amount of power is needed to move that much in and around hills. The Tesla Semi does it by being equipped with three carbon-sleeved electric motors, as seen in the Tesla Model S Plaid.
There are two drive axles in the rear of the Tesla Semi. The first axle has a single motor, while the rearward axle has the other two motors. The single motor axle is constantly engaged as it is designed to maintain highway speeds. The dual-motor axle uses individual motors to control each wheel separately to maximize acceleration and torque.
Tesla recently unveiled the “expected price” of the trucks to be 150K for the 300mi version and 180K for the 500-mile version.
