Duty cycle is always the issue
Can the Model 3 motor be able to keep that HP level up for 24 hrs towing two 40 foot trailers, up & down hills, etc ?
Same goes to Turtles ICE or any other 'car' based 1,000 HP power source. Duty cycle is completely different for a car vs semi

Remember when Tusk said the Semi was going to operate off of model 3 motors? What a joke.
4x Model 3 is close to 1000 horsepower. Almost as much as your dragster.
