First off, funny how this
First off, funny how this columnist is an investor in Tesla...guessing there's a little bias.
Second, while this all sounds great, what is the initial cost of said Tesla Semi versus a conventional diesel tractor, and how long would that truck need to run to break them even. And last, weight. If the battery pack's weight is significantly more such as those in the Tesla cars, that is less room to legally transport product out of the 80000 gvwr youre allowed. Now, instead of running 1 truck load, you're running two to comply with DOT weight regulations. It all sounds good, but everything with electric has a hidden dark cloud that no one wants to talk about. And I won't even go into the battery maintenance, replacement cost, or disposal. Not as perfect as they are made out to be. Why more tech isn't being invested in syn fuel/electric hybrid is beyond me. But, what do I know.
