    50 mile range is true. Spoke to a pissed off Tesla owner here this past winter. He was charging at a gas station. 1.5 hrs later he could leave with full charge to drive another 50 miles. He didn't have anything good to say about car.

    You know. I delivered Cummins battery packs to a school bus company. Bluebird iirc. I asked how much a full sized ebus costs. 450 to 525k. A regular diesel bus was 70 to 115k depending on trim(travel bus for college baseball team to a simple school bus). This was almost three years so maybe ebuses are cheaper now. But yeah that's a lot of energy to burn up. And like what was said what about winter.

    The E-industry have to keep this lie going as long as possible, to keep the funding coming in, to keep the execs and shareholders rolling around in their retirements.

    Curious if big truck manufacturers will have to buy credits for billions of dollars from Tesla like dodge did on cars .

    Yep. That’s at the stamping plant, right there at the 69/35 junction, up behind the new logistics building on the corner. The whole place is like that, which is why all our Ford trailers are junk Celadon trailers. At least, they’re air ride.
