Overview
- Fleets that buy Tesla Semis through the program receive a purchase subsidy and commit the trucks to Uber Freight’s dedicated shipper solutions for a set period.
- Uber Freight will use its network to keep the electric tractors consistently booked and will integrate route planning around Tesla’s developing Semi charging infrastructure.
- Neither the size of the subsidy nor the current list price of the Tesla Semi was disclosed, with Tesla reviewing total cost of ownership case by case with prospective buyers.
- In a two‑month pilot, carriers logged 12,377 miles over 394 driving hours at an average 1.72 kWh per mile with 60 total charging hours, indicating operational viability on demanding lanes.
- Media reports differ on production timing for the Semi, with some expecting mass production next year and others pointing to 2026.
