Interesting...Tesla semi cost 120k more than a new Diesel. That difference will buy about 21,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Modern diesel trucks will get about 7-9 mpg and the motors last 600,000 miles or more. Electricity isn’t free so the break even point is hundreds of thousand of miles. Sure Tesla doesn’t need as much maintenance but if the trucks are like the cars they will go through very expensive tires quicker. Time will tell how many miles the motor / battery pack will last on the Tesla. I just don’t see how buying Tesla trucks is a slam dunk decision for Fleet Operators.
Now when the rats get back into the Whitehouse, to the detrement of taxpayers, the tax credits / rebates will be a flowing.
So now we have to worry about large lithium batteries spontaneously combusting as well as illiterate immigrant drivers on the roads.

No, it won’t.
