Both to purchase and maintain. Some operators depreciate ~usd70/hour.

Expensive machines are typically worked hard (long hours) when they are working. They need to keep working to make them pay. They typically work in forests not near the iTesla charging point by Starbucks.
When working, fellers are ferocious. The cabs are basically bulletproof.
- tpmx 4y agoAgreed. I wrote "will start to". There'll be pressure for that. And perhaps in 10 years with new battery tech and more remote charging infrastructure they'll actually be mostly fossil-free.
