They ( Tesla ) never actually said the unloaded weight of the truck/trailer combo, just the total weight of 81k..
As a big rig ( flatbeds ) driver of 30 yrs, I kind of like the concept, hate the looks...
It would be nice to be able to enter the cab, stand up and get out of the 1 piece overalls usually worn when loading in the cold temps outside... although that does not sway me to want to run out and drive one.
I also like the fact that the braking will be dramatically better due to regenerative braking and the combo will experience LESS brake fade ( I believe?? ) on long down hill runs,, perhaps resulting in LESS usage of run away truck ramps??
