The Tesla Semi is going to kill diesel semi truck sales in the future if diesel prices stay high IMHO.

Gas prices get passed onto the consumers the same way higher taxes do and generally aren't absorbed by trucking companies. Also, regardless of what it costs, these Tesla semi's cannot fill the role of long haul trucks truck that can go 1,200 miles and fill up for another 1,200 miles in 15 minutes. Most of your trucks are long haul and this Tesla semi will not be bale to fill that role even 10 or 15 years down he road unless battery and charging technology has a drastic leap forward.

In regards to city/day cab truck, yes these EV's will work great. I have already been involved in selling several semi-truck chargers(not Tesla) to customers in our California region at work. Short distance city driving is perfect for BEV's both passenger vehicles and semi's.

8.1 Van, I am sorry, but I think you are spewing nonsense to keep this thread going. You are posting false images, and saying things that aren't even true about semi's or the industry(which I have worked in for over 20 years) in general. I know you believe in your cause, but you are doing more harm for it than good by doing this.
