Tesla claiming 621 mile range for its semi truck

And it has super singles!

 

Probably, if it had a charging station at the top.

 

No, no, no.

That was the guy I ran into at TK in Phoenix a week or so ago.

And it's a 100K up the Grapevine.

 

Even with 600 miles of range that’s about half the range of a comparable diesel fuel truck. I could see it being used in regional/vocational work but it’s not particularly suited for long haul OTR applications. Plus have they tested it in winter conditions?

 

Lot of time for a driver to waddle in and sit on the pot at least.

 

Truck stop will deliver you a nice and noisey genset to charge your truck while you attempt to sleep.

 

I shouldn’t bad mouth Tesla because I’ve made a good chunk of change on the stock....

But at -20F how’s that battery charge gonna last......?

 

All I can say is... Look at how many unused LNG filling stations there are across the country. This will die a similar death, there will be some limited use... But not what developers are envisioning.

 

Am i seeing it wrong? Or does that thing have an IFTA sticker on it? Educate me please on why an electric vehicle would need to have that. No matter what its uglier than cows ##*.
