    You sit in the center of the truck... Have they ever tried backing into a tight spot? Now both sides are blindsides, makes sense!

    I trust Musk. His numbers are accurate, 15 minutes to fuel is low. It usually takes me an hour to fuel. 5 percent grade at 45 mph in a diesel truck? Try more like 19 mph with a tailwind. Cost per mile $1.52 for a diesel truck? Try more like $3.00 per mile and that doesn’t include fuel, maintenance or driver pay. 6 mpg? Try more like 6 gallons per mile.

    Old Elon just tells the truth with his numbers. He can’t help but be honest. I like the super fast take off ability, I bet the freight arrives in better condition than it was loaded. And the more trucks you own, the cheaper it gets. I bet if you buy enough units, Tesla pays you. His company has only lost $800 million this quarter, and he has fired a lot of workers and is trying to build vehicles in China. There is no way that this is a distraction for missing production goals, getting more investors on board to help stop the bleeding. And a million mile guarantee not to breakdown???? Sign me up for at least five.

    If only Tesla could design a truck powered by B.S., Musk could personally power entire fleets.

    Can't they make it look cool, like a big hood? If I was to add 200 chicken lights how many miles will I lose per charge?
