These two are interesting >>>The constant use of the battery pack is unprecedented and is causing reliability problems for Tesla and other EV truck makers [similar claims coming from Uber drivers who use their Teslas over 300 miles per day, i.e., their batteries are dying quickly. Meaning the batteries are not meant to use more than few hours per day because they heat up ? >>>PepsiCo did a 500-mile trip with the Tesla Semi from California to Phoenix, but it was just for PR purposes. The batteries completely burned out, which is why on PR trips like this, they bring three Tesla Semis, with two being towed on a diesel Semi truck, only to be swapped out when the battery dies the other two Semis on the 500-mile drive As usual a demo product like other EV semis ?

TBH, it sounds like it might be temp related... but it could be as simple as overly conservative software. These are in such early stages of development, that I'm sure they are being very conservative about going into limp mode at the first sign of a potential problem.
