We had a thread on this forum on over the road trucks .My point was that
Trucks get 6 to 10 mpg and gross 80,000 lbs, meaning that they get great mpg / ton. IE;a MB 320 CDI will get 32 to 40 mpg @ 5,000 lbs gross , that's 5 times less energy then the Mercedes per ton . That means battery weight will have 5 times less negative effect or like a Tesla S with a 240 lb. battery.
Elon says 20% less operating cost.
It's always been about the battery,who can make those Elon!
Oh the sports car $200,000 ,1.9 sec. 0 to 60 mph ,600 mile range with 200kwh battery.
What are the talking heads Tesla shorts going to say this morning . HE has never made a deadline, neither have 99% of people doing new hard things.
