I must be repeating myself here, some people or company will see an electric semi a problem (like you), some will see it as a solution -- and some won't even be able to afford it.
But one thing for sure, I'm not going to tell those who won't to.
Discussions of semis when this is a pick-up launch is not totally irrelevant to us RVers.
Am dreaming that since Tesla has mass produced the electric semis, they can go next to RVs.
As Popular Mechanics said, current Tesla technology can actually have you summon your car from your car garage to your place of work to pick you up -- driverless -- except the states/federal as slow in coming up with the regulations. Imagine yourself in your sleek electric/autonomous RV going to your destinations by just tapping your phone in between taking a nap and binge watching while on the road.
Another attractions for their electric semis is that it is autonomous. Haulers will have no problem getting drivers to ride into them and won't have this current driver shortage issues.
And the 1951 issue of Popular Mechanics also said we'd be driving flying cars by now. Hardly what I would call a reliable source. Might be wanting to check out that grain of salt.
