We will see how it does with a trailer and a load on it.

Go to the event where the Tesla Semi that can't possibly work is unveiled to the public, and report back all the ways that its fake:

Tesla team just completed a 500 mile drive with a Tesla Semi weighing in at 81,000 lbs!

Hope their licensing is more on road taxes. Since they will be allowed to be heavier. Also hope they have to abide by the same laws regarding load limited roads. Seems they do a lot of giving free passes when they can't meet the required limits.

How long at a truck stop to get 100% charged?

How many children are used in the mining of needed battery elements?

What happens to those batteries after they reach the end of their lifespan ?

And finally what is powering all the "new" electricity needed for this as it doesn't exist now...

Projected 80 per cent charge in 30 min.
Tesla will build a separate charging network for their
Semis.

Technology disrupters make obsolete companies go
Out of business.

In the video they do not mention the inclines the loaded truck had to endure.
Crossing the Sierra Nevadas will cost more energy than traveling on highway that is completely flat.

Companies will be receiving the semi in December so we will find out more soon.

Its just not worth arguing this one, the stupidity of those comments is amazing.

so only use children to make electric cars but not minerals to make gas cars.

Semp please link to an article showing children slave labor being used in the manufacturing of gasoline powered vehicles..

I have not seen one of those but I do for the battery parts for EV from 3rd world countries

And oddly the average liberal buying into this bs doesn't care about the rights of those kids ..just like their china built iPhone...hypocrites the lot of them
