    Generally the faster the charge the less life you'll get out of the battery and the slower the charge the longer the battery will last.

    Finally a truck that doesn’t frighten people. A non-aggressive sensible truck that doesn’t go very fast and doesn’t go too far. A truck that will save the planet.

    I see UPS jumping on this. They got money to spend and always buying fuel efficient trucks.

    Sure is armchair analyst in here. Who the #### knows how long it'll last? Who the #### knows how durable it'll be? One thing we know is the price and just about ####all else.

    If anyone actually bothered to read the article you would have seen it was designed with local use in mind and guaranteed not to break down for at least a million miles. I'm sure it's terrible though because Musk has been so unsuccessful up to this point. ;)

    It's the un-truck, made specifically with the neutered driver in mind.

    I wonder how long it will take to find someplace to charge the thing. It’s hard enough to find any kind of spot at most truck stops, nevertheless one with a charging station lol.
