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.
You do understand duty cycle don't you? There is a reason you don't see 6.6 Duramax, 6.7 Superduty or pickup Cummins engines in a class 8 semi.
Anybody can get the 600 HP needed for a class 8 truck now days. It's the duty cycle that would kill these little toy engines.
Do you seriously think a toy model 3 toy motor will work in a semi? I don't care if you put 10 of them in a semi.
Even in a toy car that weighs 4K they blow up. Look what happened at the Nurburgring.

You have no clue what Tesla electric motor can do.
Btw those motors are 99% eficient.
Compare that w diesel and cry.
