At least for now, these Tesla trucks are not intended for long haul use.
They're intended for fleet use on local/regional runs between established warehouses and/or factories, where recharging facilities will be purpose built by the truck owners.
The first batch of Tesla Semis are going to Pepsico who intend to use them for runs between bottling plants and local distribution warehouses.
Never ceases to amaze me how the EV fan boos come out to defend this crap.
Wonder what Pepsi is paying to upgrade to be able to charge these things. Ain’t going to be cheap.
But hey, it’s Cali and they don’t have rolling blackouts, brownouts nor ask EV owners not to charge their vehicles at certain times.
Always funny to read…..my EV is perfect because I only drive 30 mile a day.
These trucks don’t do that.
Got it. A vitrue-signaling, local TV news video EV fleet.
They are not meant to be good, they are meant to be bought. That is all. Like a 1974 Pontiac Bonneville. Looks okay, goes down the road, but that carburator WHEW, rebuild it every tank and it gets 14 mpg.
