    I would 1st
    _hope the range is at least 600 miles per charge. [If not hold onto it](park it)
    2nd
    _provided the above criteria is met, learn how to drive it and understand everything about its operations.( about a week worth of learning)
    3rd
    _haul a load. And hope to God there's a supercharger built into every parking spot at all truck stops so I can charge my truck.

    THINGS NEEDED TO BE RELIABLE
    1. Equal amount of charging(refueling) options as truck stop diesel pumps.
    2. Minimum of 650 miles per charge with 50 reserve miles in case of issues.
    3. Tesla service centers EVERYWHERE

    IF MILEAGE WAS NOT UP TO PAR.
    1.Remove motor powered axles
    2.Order a direct bolt on generator that attaches to the DIESEL MOTOR.
    3.Find a company that can custom make the motor control and throttle and stand alone monitor system to watch temperature of (electric tesla) motors.
    4. Remove my Kenworth rear axles.
    5. Mount and align the tesla powered axles, on my kenworth frame.
    6. Remove the transmission and driveshaft
    7. Reduce over 50% of fuel consumption [6mpg=12mpg]
    8. OH YA you would have unlimited mileage with NO need to charge.

    Does anybody listen to any of the industry news on Xm? The whole point to all of this is driverless otr. So......the megas want to put everyone else out of business.....period. Then they build large truck centers. Your job is to get in your electric truck in the morning, load a local load. Then take it to the truck center and drop it. Then, a driverless truck takes it from there to the next center. Whatever is needed is taken off and delivered by you and your electric truck. Then that driverless truck is swapped for a fresh one because it is out of juice and continues on its way. This is all spelled out very...very clearly in agenda 2030, 21 and the green new deal. The point to electric vehicles is total control. Hard to leave if you don't have juice to go and others can control your car.

    I hear you and the fact that you know about agenda 2030 is inspiring haha. At least I'll be able to pull my camper all over the country and run my semi on grease lmao but if there's no humans then we don't need trucks.. 2030 also talks about a large reduction of the population.

    well..... a lot easier to make electricity at home for an electric car than diesel for a diesel truck, won’t you agree? Sounds like electric is a step towards independence and freedom, rather than the other way around?
