Tesla Semi hits 95% uptime in real fleet operations. That means trucks stay on the road. Not in the shop. Not waiting for parts. Fleet operators are paying attention. And diesel manufacturers are nervous.

Dan Priestley runs Tesla's Semi program. He confirmed it on Jay Leno's Garage. The battery uses 4680 cells. Built for a million miles. Not a lab result. Real trucking cycles. Real freight loads. Every single day.

Reference: Everyone covered the Tesla Semi's million-mile battery. Nobody covered the number that actually keeps fleet operators up at night. That changes right now, as the 95% uptime of the Tesla Semi is the real headline here. torquenews.com/1/tesla-semi-just-did-what-diesel-never-could-and-95-uptime-proof-impossible-ignore
