Don't forget that when it comes to government regulations that affect big rigs and their engines, the RV market is not a concern to anyone. No one asked the RV industry how they felt about DEF. The Prevost type coaches will still be around because the regulations will probably affect buses and they are still built on a modified bus chassis.
The gas coaches will remain as long as the engine manufacturers can make money in markets other than RV's.
In my opinion, Tesla will not try to work out any deal with CG's. Their focus will be on the much larger commercial market.
Initially yes, absolutely. After all it's a business and Tesla's in it to make money, and the commercial transportation industry is where the money is at. That's Tesla's target to make there money back and turn a profit. Once they reach a certain level of comfort other applications will be considered. Sure, in the Auto Industry Class As and Cs are but a speck.
AS for working out deals, Remember that CG's compete among themselves and will do a lot to have an edge. They will seek a deal with tesla or whoever can make a universal megacharger. As you know, Tesla allows everyone to use their patents. There's no doubt in my mind that 4-8 yrs down the road we will have a 37 footer with an electrical chassis, I mean, frightliner already has a hybrid FRED. Most of the pessimists here are the Baby boomers, and maybe I'll be the same way when the Gen Y'ers and Millenials start invading this forum, I hope not though. lol
