The Tesla Semi truck will be a monumental failure. It doesn’t make sense economically given the size and weight of the battery eating away at the payload,

Starting a deep dive on tesla when it got under $150.

Tesla Energy should be the focus of the company. And will be soon.

They’re driving thousands of miles with that $800 though. Without refilling. They only stop to sleep.

How many times you think you will have to stop to recharge in a tesla semi? Each charge taking 30 minutes minimum in addition to wait times when other semis are charging

semi avg about 7mpg..

on average you gettin about 900miles for 800$..

fuel cost annually if they drove only 400miles a day only worked 4days a week.. is 40-50k

I heard this kind of carnival barking with the solar tile roofs, hyper loop, boring company, mars trips, Tesla robots, Tesla rocket planes , etc. I guess some people never learn. Lets up this thread in a year :mjlol:

For short hauls it’s makes a lot of sense… anything above 500 miles it don’t make sense but less than 500 that’s a great business model

If that was the case, he should have built a Box Truck not semi. Semi’s are designed for long distance hauling.

If he wanted to complete in mid range hauling, he would have been better off producing a box truck or something. Now that may have made economical sense.
