Why did the whole video pass without mentioning the Load capacity? I mean which truck driver on earth would ask "Dang, what's the 0-60?" before asking "How much load can it carry?" Given the battery size, I don't think it does well against a diesel-based semi. This is not to say I support fossil fuel-based transport, hell no, it's just that Tesla is an overhyped bubble.

Very little improvement in the energy/volume measurement for those batteries if at all. I really like the cars that Tesla makes, but it's very unlikely that huge improvements will be made anytime soon, making these trucks unfeasable for a very long time. I'd really like to be proven wrong, but i don't see that coming anytime soon.

@@captainsunbear5472 - the same way it is done today. You dispatch a tow truck, he replaces the tire or tows it to the repair facility. The more relevant point is that while the truck is sitting there on the side of the road, cargo theft would quickly become a problem. Modern trailers have pressure sensors in the tire. Preventive maintenance would stop most of those “sudden”failures.

I agree. My last truck i had nothing but egr problems. Switched to a newer truck and now its dpf problems. Went with the cummins x15 so figure next year i'll have to start replacing seals. She just runs so hot with the def. It would be amazing to own a vehicle that didnt have all of those components. I'd pay more just to stop waking up in a cold sweat from dreaming about break downs.

The range of a Tesla truck is currently 500 miles. That’s a fact. There’s a huge segment of the industry that would cover. The product doesn’t have to ‘defeat’ every truck in the US, it’s about use case. Now doubt they will increase capacity as the product evolves.

Electric planes are already receiving approval past the initial testing phases to accept passengers on short-haul routes in the U.S., while ships are highly unlikely to ever be powered by batteries due to the corresponding reduction on cargo capacity.

They will use whatever energy you give them. Globally, current electricity generation is done more with fossil fuels than renewables, but even an EV charging only from a petrol power plant is still less polluting than a diesel truck, because large power generators are more efficient than semi truck engines. As the years go by we will move to more green energy, so powering electric vehicles will be less polluting.

@@madthumbs1564 Tesla and many other battery manufacturers have already and continue to develop battery chemistries which use less and less rare or unethically sourced materials. Batteries continue to become more energy dense and cheaper, so it is unlikely that batteries' costs will be driven up. Also, most cellphones don't use top-of-the-line battery chemistries like EVs do, so even if EV batteries become more expensive, this will not affect cellphone batteries.

Way to go EM 🤟🏻

I'm a class A driver (tractor-trailer commercial "truck") and since stopping that I went to college ("University" in UK) and I am an engineer now. There are some _BIG_ errors in this video: -In North America the 'Up to 50,000 miles per year' is more than double that. In fact, 100,000 miles per year (160,000 km per year) means any driver, be it owner/operator or company, is 'fully' employed. There are some who do not drive that many miles but that condition 'average haulage firm - up to' is NOT the median number, it's the mean full time, over the road (OTR = not coming home every night.) Local or owner/operators who chose not to drive that many miles are NOT the average, they're the lesser exception. --The 10 mpg is a goal set by the US government for efficiency and emission control and thanks to computers and if you're pulling a light weight load, we can see better than that. So, "...No more than 10 miles per gallon" was accurate in the mid 1990s but today it is NOT the upper limit. The best I saw full but not heavy was 17 miles per gallon. _FOR GERMAN/MAINLAND EUROPEAN VIEWERS_ 10 mpg = 23 L/100km but my best was 17 mpg = 13.8 L/100km. With a 13 to 14 liter engine that's not bad for total max (Bruttogewicht) 40 tons. *--THE BIG PROBLEM HERE is charging time* In North America, USA and in Canada, we are allowed to have TWO 'team drivers' and one can drive up to 11 hours within a 14 hour time window, with mandatory breaks. With some careful planning that means the truck would only make short stops for fuel, food and bathroom/toilet. Those stops are 30 minutes minimum by law but remember - the law does NOT say "You must sit quietly and do nothing in that 30 minutes." One of those stops can be 'Drink coffee and change drivers while the fuel pump is going.' If nothing goes wrong (accidents, weather, engine trouble) the team can go 1000 to 1200 miles (1600 - 1900 km) per day. That is coast to coast in three days or slightly less. If loading and unloading are on schedule that's round trip in a week. This happens routinely every day with the exception being Canada, where speed limits are lower and there are fewer limited access - high speed highways. *How long does the truck need to charge to have 1000 miles (1600 km) range? I'll give you a hint - it's FAR LONGER than 30 minutes.* Electric trucks will be local short haul at best and charge at their home terminal AFTER the North American electric grid has been re-engineered to be able to handle that demand. BTW, look up "California rolling blackouts."
