    And what is the expected service life of a nuclear power plant.
    How many nuclear power plants running right now are in need of major overhaul. How many are running at max capacity.

    Why are cabovers making a comeback?

    Does the electric drivetrain/setup require a cabover?

    i'm not complaining now, just wondering........?

    No hood is the most efficient way to build a truck. The curvy lines give low wind resistance.

    Why no hybrid system. Trains and ships have been for decades. These new tesla type trucks are called revolutionary? I'd call them obsolete and purpose built as such. Another money grab from the pockets of fools.

    Where is the power coming from? That is the question. The Tesla truck stations have to have battery packs because rural grids, as they are now, can't stand the amount of juice that three trucks charging draw. They need to have battery banks in the stations to buffer.... A tesla truck has enough stored power to run a 1,500 watt space heater for 28 days.

    Where is the energy coming from? This presentation may change some folks mind:
