Tesla Semi made it ‘across the country alone’
...to visit an important potential customer rather than to carry loads of stuff. Must have been a fun day though for the office guys in the company HQ.<p>Hopefully there will be a bit more of this Tesla Truck on Tour going on, pleasing crowds all over the globe. I would go outside to check out a Tesla Truck if one rocked up in town. I would probably skip past F1 cars, fire engines and other novelty performance vehicles to do so.<p>It seems that the Tesla Truck is specifically for hauling big loads on very long distances rather than any other use case, with most truck manufacturers having half a dozen models with untold engine variants for the many other use cases.<p>I wonder if ultimately it does come down to economics, with the Tesla Truck having &#x27;regen&#x27; as quite a trick to play. The &#x27;regen&#x27; should make descending a lot safer and obviously a lot more &#x27;green&#x27; than normal engine braking. I am intrigued as to how that will work out crossing The Rocky Mountains as per the customer visit going on here.
