Tesla Semi....Pretty Cool....For a EV

I like the sound.....I wonder what it would sound like pullin' a load?

I thought EV's were bad?

They do lead to "range anxiety" but I thought it sounded cool.

Can you fathom the damage one of those would do to a highway if it caught fire?

Good luck transitioning over to EVs for our supply chain. Maybe get 500 miles a day, probably less when fully loaded.
Than you hope the rolling blackouts from the "cleaner/greener" BS will allow enough electricity to get back on the road the next day.
The only positive is the fuel savings.
If they can make it work, good for them but I think we are many years away from them being a player in the transportation game

How's it sound when it's plugged into the charger? Does it make a sucking sound?

No idea of the end game but they might be viable for short hauling containers from sea and/or inland ports.

EV's can be pretty powerful, may help with a load?
