its the ground clearance issue I was pointing out, i have driven through 2 feet of mud and slop. The tesla has less ground clearance than my pickup truck, would be a huge plow and then back up in a deep rut and rip the front end off.  Would probably be great for an OTR truck though :aok

I'm sure you can take those things off.

Individual computerized traction control on each of the 4 motorized wheels and torque that diesel can't even dream of, and somehow the electric semi will be worse on ice, snow and mud. The message somehow just isn't getting through.
But its electric so its stupid :)

Now they found out that Greenland's ice shelf is not millions of years old. Seems that Greenland was covered in plant life just a few hundred thousand years a go. Wonder who cause the planet to warm then.... aliens?

Scotty can you imagine driving down the highway and ALL you hear is your tires?

You are climbing a steep grade going 35 mph and there is that truck up ahead who is only going 25 mph and it will difficult to change lanes .........oh my ........

when you could be going 70 mph in a Tesla semi and no need to make traffic slow down when you want to pass.   :D

....... I guess that is a little hard to imagine.

And you will miss all of that shifting of gears which is the funnest part of the experience.

Isn't battery life tied directly to to the size load it is pulling?
