Actually, that sort of logic is probably exactly why it hasn't happened. The marginal increase in costs for this is almost certainly much much higher than $25k.

- eigenvalue 13y agoYeah, but the $25k is recurring so you would have to capitalize it to compare it to the one-time cost of the new truck.
- vonmoltke 13y agoIts not just capitalization of the up-front cost, its also the delta in maintenance cost.
- esrauch 13y agoA cab and trailer is probably already something like $200-300k already, so I could see this sort of truck easily being more than $100k more expensive just in the upfront cost.
- gaadd33 13y agoBut trucks tend to last 10+ years. Not sure what the lifetime of trailers are though.
