      And the specs listed in the article makes no fucking sense here in Europe, most if not all European electric trucks are able to drive nonstop between the mandatory breaks and charge fast enough to drive nonstop the next stint too. They don’t really need to improve the range anymore, but better (lighter) batteries will improve how much they legally can haul.

    Let’s not forget that each Tesla vehicle sold puts more money into the pockets of a raging Nazi billionaire. That’s the only spec that matters to me.

      Which CEO do you get your cars and trucks from? What are their ethical values?

          • Elon Musk (Tesla founder)
          • Adolf Hitler (VW founder)

          I think that’s it.

          I see. I keep a log of habits and values for every CEO, vice-president, CFO, COO, CTO, shareholder, and janitor team, for every single product and service I purchase, own or use.

    Fully loaded at 40 tons

    Most countries in Europe has a gcwr of 48t and that is done with a 4x2 or 6x2/2 truck that has way lower rolling resistance compared to a 6x4 or 6x6 truck. Also, the Tesla cab looks insanely long compared to a European sleeper cab, which is a problem as trucks in Europe are limited to 18,75 meters (with exceptions of course)

      Hilarious as the partnership with Frito-lay. He literally picked the lowest density material to ship from A to B.

      You realize people in the US are using this in their fleets today and say the specs are legit.

      Theyre just gonna fabricate specs, just for the EU?
