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...

What is missing is even a hint from Brown as to WHOM is working on feasibility studies. As shown from the effects of the horrors of the wine country disasters and the face of hell in Burlingame CA because of a puposefully ignored distribution pipeline one of the largest utility companies in the state has shown utter incompetence at dealing with obviously ludicrous management. PG&E is being sued for billions of dollars. They will be found guilty someone has to fall on their sword. Brown knows this. He is remaining utterly silent about the fault of the State Public Utilities Commission to have seen unconscionable dangers. It was right in front of their eyes. Read a doc.gov paragraph
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates privately owned electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, railroad, rail transit, and passenger transportation companies. The agency’s mission is to ensure that regulated utilities provide safe and reliable services at affordable rates. In addition to its regulatory activities, CPUC also administers programs that provide subsidized utility services to certain underserved populations and supports energy-related research and development activities.
ONE POINT EIGHT BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET. PG&E will file bankruptcy after a declaration of underwriting shortfalls are announced. Probably next June. The State will inefficiently cover the litigation and settlement. A titanic bite out of the State Budget. Think utility rates EVERYWHERE in the state of California are not going to soar? Say goodbye to the new seventeen cents per gallon gasoline road improvement tax being used for road repair. When underwriters face gross shortfalls they are granted exceptions to raise rates. Rates that cover all aspects of coverage for anything. Even auto liability and homeowner liability rates are going to soar.
One aspect of government is it is the epitome of self survival. Homes with massive battery and generation capabilities WILL BE TAXED under the "auspices" of inspected conformity and safety. Seventy eight and a third miles from the nearest power pole will prove to be no advantage at all. If Eldon Musk breaks an unseen barrier and become noticed by governvironmentalists then he will become the target of unimaginable pressure to pay to play. A massive structural growth will endanger the California blue eyed stinkbug, emissions limits will get re calibrated and California gets a new source of government Holy Grail. Revenue.
The Pineapple Express roars and California plays possum? It's all WORST CASE ENGINEERING - never forget that. The grid that is no longer necessary because of modular energy structuring is a fantasy. Try placing a natural gas generating plant within eyesight of anyone whose income exceeds $50,000 yr and you will see political threats and Marching Soy Protein Legions. This isn't funny. It's pathetic. As an engineer I have had to live with avoiding vulnerability. Good engineers make it an art form. Dreamy eyed wish-it-were-true is not part of the program.
Before getting ALL wound up about Florida's census increase, versus infrastructure comparison, it is necessary to determine exactly the components that make up the equation. The ingress was primarily energy hungry families with multiple automobiles, and a 4/3 rancher with swimming pool? Or perhaps retired people living in far less square footage, requiring a fifth of the energy of the former? Can YOU live on 75 kWh? Understand please that grasping raw numbers is worse than useless. It can be manipulated and warped to distort reality. Old people do not eat as much. They do not use a quarter of the energy as someone half their age.
So it's not electric I am questioning. It is unplanned unknown and unwanted feasibility specifically the lack of which I condemn. It ISN'T GOING TO CURE ITSELF. If it were allowed to mature on it's own the growth cycle would include all phases of development.
But Governor MOONBEAM has mandated the ELIMINATION of hydrocarbon motor vehicles. A law. Laws mean things. Break a law and learn the hard way. Like me ordering a battery charger from Michigan, finding out after my money was accepted that the shipment was denied. After 65 days I was reimbursed but not for the shipping. For a stupid piece of new equipment that had a default shutdown timer.
