So inputting real world scenarios and costs into the convo is naysayer because it is not the sunshine and rainbows that you want to hear? Ya'll are doing the very same thing that you guys claim you know who is doing when he says fake news. Well, well, ya'll have something in common with him. Who 'da thunk it.....
No, you just sounded like my accountant who has problem for every solution, lol.
So what I am saying about the Tesla Semi in regards to how applicable it is in the medium/heavy duty industry and the associated cost is fake news? I didn't know I was talking to an industry expert. How may years have you been in the medium/heavy duty trucking industry?
It wasn't very long ago that "experts" were claiming that electric sports cars would never work. Now they dominate certain types of racing but not all. Some people will never buy an electric sports car because they love the engine roar and shifting gears more than going fast. Every type of racing has its own needs that have to be met. To each his own but I expect to see the same thing happen in trucks of all types. Some people will find that electric trucks meet their needs very well, some will find that they still need fossil fuel until the technology advances further and others will refuse to change because they just don't want to for personal reasons. Personally, I am going to wait until I need a vehicle and then evaluate what is out there and what best fits my needs and budget. I don't own an electric vehicle now but I have no intention becoming a Luddite either. I do expect some government entities to either outlaw ICE or just tax it out of existence. Probably not here in TN but some people will be forced to change.
