One of the Tesla Semis was recently spotted driving through the Donner pass in California, easily passing other Class 8 semis. Twitter user Zanegler (@HinrichsZane), who shared the new videos as you can see below, adds that the Tesla is testing some fully loaded Semi vehicles to see if there are any reliability issues.
I had some thoughts about how to (safely) capture some video of the Tesla Semi vs diesel semi’s going up a steep grade. The average grade ascending the Donner Pass is 7% up to 16%.

At the same time, he adds that the average climb to the Donner Pass is 7% to 16%. At the same time, the three-motor drivetrain allows the Tesla Semi to accelerate from 0 to 96.5 km/h in just 20 seconds (with a full load, which means 37,195 kg), as it delivers insideevs.com.

The range will be up to 800 km
The question is how such acceleration up steep hills will affect the range, which should reportedly reach up to 800 km in ideal conditions.
