I’m excited for the Tesla Semi as well, which also has the central driving position and lots of cameras for better situational awareness.
It’s more aerodynamic than the European style buses, so more optimized for travel between cities than inside cities, though.
(Electric trucks in dense cities is already a slam dunk without any extreme battery tech or weight reduction, though. It’s longer duration travel that battery electric needs the efforts like Tesla to prove it’s feasible. Affordable, 500 mile range, less than 1 hour quick charge, no real reduction in payload, etc. That will prove electrification of even heavy long range trucks is doable, one of the last bastions of skepticism of electrification of land transport.)
