The upcoming ‘Run on Less’ trucking event will provide the perfect platform for Tesla to showcase the revolutionary performance of its Class 8 Semi truck. PepsiCo, which operates several Tesla Semis, has confirmed its participation in the event and is eager to demonstrate the capabilities of the electric vehicle in competing with its internal combustion engine counterparts. The event will post independent performance data on its website, with Tesla’s entry expected to attract significant attention from the trucking industry due to its disruptive potential. Tesla’s previous demonstration of the Semi’s capabilities included an 8-hour run from Fremont to a PepsiCo bottling plant, where the unmodified Semi managed to travel 500 miles with less than 2 kilowatt-hours of energy per mile.
