Big F Transport announced an order for 40 Tesla Semi trucks after demoing one recently. The decision came after positive feedback from drivers, who appreciated the electric trucks' smoother and quieter performance compared to traditional diesel models. Shippers also stand to gain from reduced emissions, aligning with Scope 3 targets and regulatory incentives like WAIRE points in California, Sawyer Merritt reported on May 4, 2026. The order underscores the appeal of integrated charging and leasing models. These features help make the total cost of ownership for electric trucking competitive with diesel counterparts, according to the announcement.
