No. I don't believe range is an issue or will be significantly changed for production. I think companies will buy too many of the long range and find the shorter range version would have been fine.

Battery exchange seems to be better in theory than in practice.

Must be one reason for the delay. Range is indeed an issue for semi.

Wonder though why they did not pursue the plan for a 10-minute battery exchange solution again extended re-charging.

Well, you know what they say: "Expect in one hand...", or something like that. :)

And this year is almost over.

Tesla price is down 5%.

It's like someone we know, me me me... and can't stand without the spotlight on him.

There is a lot of irony in this post.

I am pretty curious about the feasibility of the semi. I can see for short haul, smaller loads, but wonder if the capability for OTR travel will happen within the forseeable future.

Updates are posted periodically amongst the jibber jabber.
Bit of a moving target anyway.
