Same Negativity, Pessimism and narrow minded speculation as with the Prius and Nissan leaf when they first came out. But look at them now, 1/3 the market is hybrids and EVs. My mother in law is 95. She tells me about all the BS they were talking about the model T when it came out. Look at Ford now. I'm glad so many folks here got it all figured out. With that kind of pessimistic know it all we won't get anywhere. LOL.

Tesla's new Truck:
the specs are:
By itself. 0 - 60 mph in 5 secs
With 80.000 max load trailer 0 -60 in 20 seconds.
65 MPH full rated load at 5 percent grade
500 mile range rated load.
Charges 400 miles in 30 minutes.
1 million mile warranty.
Never needs brake pads.
Available 2019. There are two sizes.
battery pack specs for 400-500 mile range, rough capacity of 1,000 kWh
megachargers will be available adding 400 miles of range on the Tesla Semi in just 30 minutes.
Experts are speculating on a price tag of around $250,000 (slap a cabin on it for $150k and $50k to put the Newmar or Fleetwood or Winnebago name on it and you got a coach for $450K. And if you think $250 is to cheap well hey double it and make it $500K then $200k in additions plus the name, now you got a MH for 750K, still less then a King Aire, Prevost or Newell, just to name a few.)

do you have an app available that shows charging stations for this across the country, how about out in nowheresville Nevada?
but if they can actually build such a thing, why is the battery system not in use for Normal cars etc. NOW which would have to have a 1,000 mile range?

The 1st trucks are slated for production in 2019. I'm not Tesla, ask him. Between now and 2019 stuff can happen. I mean the way things are going with N.Korea we could have a Nuclear war in 3 weeks, then all of this won't matter.
Why aren't a lot of things not in use for the normal car? Hint: Big Oil and special interest groups. Remember, new inventions often mean the death of one industry and the creation of another. But if you mess with someones "gravy train" they will put up a fight til the end. You think Corporate America (world) has society's and the poor consumers' best interest at heart?? C'mon now. It's all about $$$$$$
