Tesla delivers there first semi

The narrator lost me in the first 30 seconds. First, how did he divine how much weight is inside the enclosed trailer? Second, how did he calculate that there is only 5 tons of material on the Tesla's trailer? Those look like standard 10ft Jersey barricades to me and there appears to be 11 or 12 of them on the trailer. A Google search turned up the bit of information "The most common concrete jersey barricade size used is: 10 ft Long x 24 in Wide x 32 in High and weigh approximately 4,000 lbs." That is two tons each. 11 dividers X 2 tons/divider = 22 tons.

Once I realized that narrator was blowing smoke I just shut it down.

Well that's too bad. If you would have continued on to about the 9 minute mark you would have found out that a conventual diesel semi can haul twice the amount of barriers that the Tesla did. Over twice in fact.

And if you would have went to the 25 minute mark you would have learned about the nuclear glass in this semi. Now that's somethin a truck driver worries about. I remember when I drove a truck for a few years long ago it was one of my major concerns.

BTW why the mystery about gross and net weight? Why not show the weight ticket? Seems to me it would be a great selling point......unless the figures are out to lunch. Then I would want to keep it more secret than KFC's 11 herbs and spices!

Speaking of numbers. You might want to watch this video. Lots of numbers in this video. He breaks it down pretty good and comes up with about the same numbers and facts I did years ago.
