I want one!
Hi All, 500 mile range loaded to 80,000 pounds. 30 minutes to recharge to 400 mile range. It may be self driving, too. https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1113863_tesla-semi-500-mile-range-lowe...

If my series of assumptions is right, the long-term role of the power companies will change from energy providers to energy distributors. Eventually, the market (guided by the awkward hand of the PUC) will adjust to the new reality. Rainbows will sprout from the high voltage pylons, and we will all be driving electric vehicles using renewables.
I am guessing that since I know nothing about the electricity industry, I am missing something here??
I find it odd that a fellow boondocker would think this. Our house is just a scaled up boondocking RV. Instead of two or three 85W panels, we have fifteen 220W panels. Instead of one 12v battery, we have twenty-four 2v batteries. We do not pay to camp (no mortgage) and do not pay utility taxes. If the winds blow down or a drunk driver knocks down a power pole, we still have power. We use propane that is delivered once or twice a year, heat with firewood or our heat pump which provides air conditioning in the summer and shop at Walmart a couple times a month. Just like boondocking.
And this was from our porch last night:
