Regardless of the effectiveness of the results, I really admire the innovation. This guy is the definition of an entrepreneur.

I get the aspect of behind the scenes electric cars are not as clean as made to believe but there is something there and now over the road trucks (OTR), wow.

One note specifically more for OTR is it’s all about what is referred to as payload (how much weight you can haul) and hopefully the empty weight is at or greater then 36,000 lbs to haul 44,000 lbs. New truck and refrigerated (another opportunity for Tesla) trailers depending are about $125,000.

I saw the truck on tv a couple of nights ago being announced by Elon Musk who also gave a glimpse of a new roadster that does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and does about 360 miles highway on a charge. I don’t think my C5-6-7 fusion plate ion my neck will handle those G-forces (but I’d like to find out).
