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...

This got pretty far off the topic of electric semi trucks.
Which, with today’s technology, is bordering on IDIOTIC.
Electric motors are great. What everyone seems to ignore is that our ability to store electricity SUCKS.
The amount of power needed by big trucks cannot be stored in batteries that don’t weigh too much.
The amount of time required to charge them is too long.
Incidentally, depending on what state you’re in, 80,000 pounds is not the limit. Here in WA you can go 105,500.
Ha... steady state level ground cruising... that’s a joke. Reality is hills and stop & go traffic.
That Tesla truck’s specs won’t cut it.
People with as much money as Elon usually lose touch with reality. You’ve also read about his Mars thing, right?
