Why a Tesla when you could have an Edison

Aerodynamics don't mean jack in Edison's intended market either.

 

I like trucks that look like trucks as well.

 

There's a reason Warren Buffet owns all of BNSF and Pilot truck stops now, he knows that if you control commerce, you control the world. I think he owns half of Norfolk Southern trains also.

If those Edison guys would let him in the door they could revolutionize trucking, but giving control to one person is probably a big mistake.

Before they do, gimme a Cat C7 and a 200KW genny powering a small 2000WH lithium bank and 6 400HP motors for my drives and steers please, all weighing less than 16K lbs gross.

 

Please specify voltage of the bank, also did you mean kwh in the batteries again?... cause even at 12v, thats absolutely tiny, (essentially 2 of your standard group 31 batteries) and the large electric motors run much higher voltage which that small of a bank will never have a deep enough amp bank to power

driven steers feels like its asking for trouble especially at the same hp as the drives, much prefer the idea of driving an axle on the trailer if need be.


6x400hp ... im sure its doable, but not sure that volume of horses are really needed, but i could be wrong, at a guess your yearly tire bill is gonna go up though

 

This makes me happy to see a bunch of regular guys building something from the ground up. Like I've said, a college education doesn't mean #### if you don't have intelligence and common sense. Couldn't have picked a better spot to set up either, Golden is an absolutely beautiful town and the surrounding area is just spectacular.
