    Howdy, Just saw this little blurb on the net.Anyone out in cali see this thing yet?I dont know if it's a misprint-but i had to laugh at the 200-300 miles per charge???????????
    Dont know if their going to implement more 30 minute breaks(lol)but 2 to 300 miles per charge is kinda inline w/the amount of miles per week you hear people compaining about(all their getting)
    This has got to be wrong!
    Long live diesel fuel!

    Did the Tesla Semi Truck Just Get Caught Completely Undisguised?

    It's not. I read about it a few months back when it was first announced. Sure, by US standards 300 miles is only 1/2 day of work. This is being marketed, at first anyway, in the European market. Over there the range is fine. Also, I drive about 300 miles myself, doing local work. I'm sure the P&D LTL drivers would love something like this if it works out. The instant torque from the electric motor will be noticeable.
