You can get a very basic "brick" tractor for mid-high $100k, but the Tesla isn't exactly basic. So I went with a nicer model that is aerodynamic with a sleeper.

250k is pretty good price compared to diesel engine Semi and cheaper to operate/maintenance on top of it.
Very nice 👍

Might be some truth to this, just saying.

PS- on another note, I didn't realize the new semi's cost that much as posted above.

you mean EV or ice, or both?

for ice, semi engines and components have to be very sturdy to handle the use, strain and abuse. costs a lot to make it that way. plus of course the cab has to be very comfortable and functional.

Average lifetime (at least for legacy Diesels) of 750,000 miles, doing a very difficult job. Yeah that costs some serious coin.

really good is 30 days... normal is 60 days.

As production ramps up, so will that.

Who says a Tesla can't be modded?



A modded Model 3 breaks the record for lap times at Buttomwillow
