Heavy Duty Electric Trucks are Coming...
I saw this article yesterday. An all electric truck with a 35,000lb towing capacity and a 5000lb payload capacity. They are discussing quad cab and dually versions as well. Range (unloaded presumably)...

I can understand your thinking. It just my gut feelings won't change. I don't like the ramifications caused by fast vehicles in general. An example is the moment you look over and find it clear to change lanes now you hit a Tesla that was not there the moment you looked..
It's been happening with lane-sharing motorcycles in CA for decades and doesn't create problem big enough for changing the law.
Beside, new car/trucks have radars that will light red light in side mirror when somebody is in your blind spot and trigger the alarm when you turn the blinker.
Newest technology will put resistance on steering when you try to push the accident.
Lastly just because car can make 60 in 3 seconds, doesn't mean drivers will use it. I did own couple of 6 seconds car and about 90% of passengers would panic when I do that. Had to sell nice BMW mostly becouse my wife could not take the stress, even my teenage sons loved it.
Go to youtube and search for Corvette crashes. Lot of those car buyers can't handle the acceleration and crash the car 200 ft from starting point.
