I'd hope an empty electric truck is light enough to pass the weigh station check. Else it would be useless when loaded.

A drivetrain that size should have impressive regeneration supplementing the mechanical brakes. Apparently this is about equal to engine braking in gas trucks. Though these trucks were empty.
Have we seen a fully-loaded Tesla truck yet?
- Latteland 8y agoI don't know about fully loaded but elecktrek has other articles where tesla said they were using it to pull loads between the giga factory in nevada and the main factory in california.
