This seems to assume the Tesla semi should meet every demand from every kind of trucker, but it’s simply not meant to and no truck is perfect for every trip.
The Tesla semi seems geared towards short haul rather than long. It’s range may sound somewhat long, but I suspect many of these will “return to dock” in the same day, charging in the same warehouse yard each day, and if not, within a small network of warehouses. It’s not meant to go interstate and roam far and wide, charge multiple times, then return to home base.
Well, maybe it is. I just don’t have that impression. If Tesla’s not aware of how impractical that would be then the whole world is crazy. It seems like they do know though and these are intended to operate in relatively small networks where conditions are easier to control and anticipate.
