The important parameters are the coefficient of drag (Cd), average velocity (v) and root-mean-square of the velocity (vrms), the coefficient of rolling resistance (Crr), the gross on-road vehicle weight
Lambert, Fred (24 de febrero de 2021). Electrek, ed. «Bill Gates all but admits that he was shorting Tesla (TSLA)»(en inglés). Consultado el 29 de diciembre de 2022. «The problem is that batteries are big and heavy. The more weight you’re trying to move, the more batteries you need to power the vehicle. But the more batteries you use, the more weight you add—and the more power you need. Even with big breakthroughs in battery technology, electric vehicles will probably never be a practical solution for things like 18-wheelers, cargo ships, and passenger jets. Electricity works when you need to cover short distances, but we need a different solution for heavy, long-haul vehicles.»
Lambert, Fred (12 de abril de 2023). Electrek, ed. «Tesla delivers a new fleet of Tesla Semi electric trucks to PepsiCo». Consultado el 28 de abril de 2023. «The company confirmed that it is using 15 Tesla Semi trucks at its Modesto facility, and now up to 21 trucks are going to operate from the Sacramento plant. We also learned that Tesla is selling its electric truck to PepsiCo for $250,000. It was the Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality Management District that confirmed it when it said that it paid for 18 of the 21 trucks to be used at the Sacramento bottling plant with $4.5 million in grants. On top of the trucks, Tesla also installed four 750-kW Megachargers at the Sacramento facility as it did at the Modesto plant.»

Consultado el 17 de noviembre de 2017. «Musk did not address the vehicle’s upfront cost or peso. For longer-range trucks, "I don’t think we’re going to see a technology solution in the near término. Payload and cost of the battery pack are two of the biggest números preventing electric trucks from getting to those long ranges," Couch said.»
