America is running a specialized diesel tanker fleet measured in tens of thousands of trucks, making tens of millions of short, heavy, regulated trips every year, mostly terminal to pump.
Diesel tanker: $6.47 ÷ 5.5 mpg = $1.18/mile
Tesla Semi: 1.70 × $0.12 kWh = $0.20/mile
Save $0.97/mile
Now if we switch the entire fleet of say 100,000+ $TSLA semi trucks nationwide specifically for carrying oil products, we could save 1.1 billion gallons of diesel per year.
That’s roughly $5.83 billion in annual cost savings.
These are conservative estimates.
