I’m betting all range calculations are based on straight and level runs across desert southwest. Put that sucker in the hilly parts of the country and those astronomical range claims will shrink down just like the recent reports of the all electric Ford pick-ups did in real world working conditions.

Yep, I read one review of the Ford F150 EV that said the EV couldn’t do ‘truck things’, like hauling or towing heavy loads beyond very minimal distances. Be interesting to see how the Tesla semi does in the real world. Can it do ‘semi things’?
