> and of course electric trucks that have obscene amounts of torque means never "getting stuck" behind a slow truck ever again If you've ever read old car advertisements, they would say the exact same thing about old supercars that would lose a drag race against a Toyota Corolla. In reality speed and torque is an arms race among most road users. For a short while whoever has the nicest car has the ability to rapidly outrun anyone else, but that advantage diminishes as the technology gets cheaper and more common. In 20 years a modern Tesla will not be considered fast at all.
