There are some overlooked issues though. The charging issue will still be a thing. It will work for most of the places I go, even the longer trips, with a enclosed (read: hard to pull fast, uphill) trailer. Though my route will have to be accurate in this case (Eastern NC has sparse charging -— though I will probably always have access to a 240V plug somewhere out there, legally, without any opposition).

But for others, there is still going to be sparse areas.

Then there is battery capacity for higher towing loads. Cost per kilowatt hour won’t help if you can’t store enough of them on board.

To get the bigger truck market (assuming the commies don’t take them from us), Tesla will have to improve the amount of charge the batteries will hold for a given weight. I don’t see people buying trailers with batteries, but I have been wrong before...

Most truck routes are less. than 300 miles. Tesla will. have 300 and 500 mile models.
