Greenies lack of math and physics skills so they’ll believe ridiculous ####. A wind tower won’t put out enough green energy in its lifetime to cover the 320 tons of carbon emissions from building the thing, but they think those are wonderful too.

If they want to move freight with electric power they'll use VERA.

What i understand is if you drive it how they drove it during tests it will give you 500 mile range. Drivers will most prob try to go 0-60 in 3 seconds at every on ramp. Leave it running while loading unloading piss breaks and food break.going through chicago stop and go traffic stuck in an accident will lower that 500 mile range to 300 to 350 miles. And the batteries are prone to catching fire if they are damaged and are located in the front under the driver seat . So if you get in a small accident or someone take your hood off or back into you at a truck stop or at shipper receiver . You better run far far away because those batteries will catch fire.

I've seen quite a few videos on YouTube of classic cars having Tesla battery power installed. So I wonder if that option could be available if you want to put the Tesla truck battery system in a W9, or 389, or whatever model.
The Tesla semi is one fugly truck.

Tesla cars require a special spec tire although they are a semi-common size for other cars. So far Michelin is the only one making them. True Replacements are only available thru Tesla. And high $$$$. No other tire manufacturers want to touch it right now due to wear issues. Michelin is going to have a huge nightmare struggle on their hands with it.
Owners are going the cheap route and putting one anything they can get ahold of with bad results. Wear outs are quicker and they are claiming that travel mile ranges between charges are shortened dramatically. So what is Tesla doing about it right now? Blaming Michelin. What is Michelin doing about it? Taking it in the shorts and paying back customers in a lot of adjustment credits. Special T1 designation.
