I want one!

Heck, what's the cost involved to recharge all of those massive batteries in 30 minutes. Electricity is not free. If it costs as much or more than diesel is this a great benefit? If the electricity generated to provide the truck with its "fuel" is generated by a coal fired power plant, is this a great benefit?
I love Tesla and Elon Musk but I think this is a distraction from the problems that he is currently having trying to get the cheap Model X on the road (ultimate fail so far). Now he wants 1000 people to send him 250,000 in deposits for a non-existent sports car as well. Great way to raise money but a terrible way to run a business.

Based of the statement that is saves $200,000 a year in operating cost, and payback is two years, some where north of $400,000.

Cool. I see where Cummins stock is already taking a hit.
