Let's not forget that each Tesla vehicle sold puts more money into the pockets of a raging Nazi billionaire. That's the only spec that matters to me.

Which CEO do you get your cars and trucks from? What are their ethical values?
None. I drive a minivan ther belonged to my grandma.
Which CEO throws Roman Fascist salutes on TV? List them all here:
- Elon Musk (Tesla founder)
- Adolf Hitler (VW founder)
I think that's it.
Fully loaded at 40 tons
Most countries in Europe has a gcwr of 48t and that is done with a 4x2 or 6x2/2 truck that has way lower rolling resistance compared to a 6x4 or 6x6 truck. Also, the Tesla cab looks insanely long compared to a European sleeper cab, which is a problem as trucks in Europe are limited to 18,75 meters (with exceptions of course)
And yet the Tesla cab is only a day cab. The driver's seat is in the center, with a passenger seat right behind it. So there's not even room for a bed.
Seriously?! That makes it even worse.
Nah, not needed here, elmo can fuck off. We have electric Scanias, Volvos, DAFs Mercedes and others, we're good.
And the specs listed in the article makes no fucking sense here in Europe, most if not all European electric trucks are able to drive nonstop between the mandatory breaks and charge fast enough to drive nonstop the next stint too. They don’t really need to improve the range anymore, but better (lighter) batteries will improve how much they legally can haul.
Ohh, musk made up a bunch of random numbers again?
Hilarious as the partnership with Frito-lay. He literally picked the lowest density material to ship from A to B.
You realize people in the US are using this in their fleets today and say the specs are legit.
Theyre just gonna fabricate specs, just for the EU?

what fleets. They only started selling these a few months ago, and none are yet delivered.
They've had pilot partners from a pilot production line for years now, almost 200 or more trucks in use.
fleets
Show me a single one of those "fleets" you're talking about
Heck, show me a single cyber truck in the wild. One
Are you a bot?
I said its used IN fleets. There aren't fleets of semi's yet.
Also this is about the SEMI not the cybertruck.
