This mirrors some Facebook comments from my trucker buddy that had a few of the same complaints, although his take was a bit more optimistic (he thinks Tesla will fix the flaws in an updated model soon as he doesn't think this will sell.)


Yeah, its not as if a cab redesign would be difficult if that ends up being an obstacle. TBH, though, I'm guessing it works better in practice than they let on. They've had a few years of testing, for better or worse.


I really think the difference is going to be long-haul vs short delivery trucks.

Also remember the people buying the short-haul delivery trucks ain't the ones drivin' them.


TBH, the Semi was designed with that thought in mind, for better and worse. I'm sure its a very different market from the owner operator.

I can't imagine a single case where this would be practical for an owner operator at the moment, but I'd love to be corrected.
