The trailer was included in the semi weight in the video.

No idea why it was flagged I thought it was interesting.

I hope Tesla will release their numbers sometime soon.

Ooh, good point. Should have read my own backup sources! :-)

"A semi-truck without a trailer weighs between 10,000 and 25,000 pounds, depending on the size." (https://www.tcsfuel.com/blog/truck-weight-classification/)

That's 10-11t.
