    White Tesla Semi Truck went off the road this morning. I80 closed both directions because of the fumes. Just like the I15 crash. Fell asleep maybe???

    Well it was bound to happen sooner or later.
    Maybe the driver thought the truck could drive itself down Donnor Pass without any assistance.

    Thanks for making me laugh every time I come here. This is for you all and all the Drivers that come here. With an exception or three, you have a great sense of humor.
    Good thing this ETruck didn't take anyone out.
    Finding out how infallible these are and that the battery fumes can kill us , and that sales have gone way down, surely they won't force us to drive them, ya think?
     
    W923, Oxbow, Siinman and 8 others Thank this.

    Sounds like the battery area needs a self containment compartment. Or better drivers. Going Green isn't easy.

    Tesla’s are like cats, they have a way of just signaling in on something shiny or shimmering in the light or something that looks like a string to play with. It probably saw a plastic shopping bag stuck in a tree or cactus limb or on a post moving in the breeze and went for it.

    No trailer just Bobtailing. Said it weighs 26,000 lbs. To heavy for the real world.
