THINKING TO BUY A TESLA SEMI TRUCK

Oregon has been looking/pilot programs on this for a while.

 

This made me laugh. Was running around in My 78 F350 big block yesterday. Hopping in my Prius to do an 800 mile day today.

Proper tools for the jobs

 

I thought about this today while I was driving and you're actually kind of right. Tesla owners are much more of the conspicuous consumption sort, it's the Prius drivers that are the virtues signalers.

 

Has the Tesla semi actually meet any DOT approvals or is it still in the concept phase of production. Big difference between the two

 

They have had a couple of prototypes running back and forth over Donner hauling stuff between the Fremont CA and Sparks, NV factories for almost two years now.

 

Exactly lol.
Tesla owners paying out for a high performance car only care about the technology and performance of the vehicle. The environment, saving gas money, and stuff like that are not reasons they buy them lol.

 

In reading through the TTR news noticed that Cummins acquired Meritor.

And then Meritor Aquired the commercial vehicle drive systems from Siemens.

Siemens sells Commercial Vehicle business to Meritor - electrive.com

Something interesting to keep an eye on.

 

This is the real truth of it. It is just a shell game. After all of the shuffling around it looks like everything is different but it's exactly the same.

Except that some goon that is the leader of whatever group will stand up and beat his chest and say look at what we've accomplished!

Yes, absolutely nothing. In fact they probably made it worse.

 

Thats a chinese company backed by Warren Buffet

 

Depends on your region, the type of freight hauled and other factors, especially weather. Imagine running a part of the country where you frequently hit high winds, can't wait for the Tesla semi to start playing on I 80 in Wyoming, Mother Nature has a few tricks up her sleeve that Elon and the engineers haven't seen.
