A close friend of ours drove for a food service delivery company.

He picked up a load in the morning, drove a few hundred kilometre highway/city route with a dozen stops during the day, and parked back at the depot at end of day.

Perfect for the Tesla Semi.

There are hundreds of trucks doing similar routes just in our metropolitan area.

There is a huge potential market for these trucks.

And Tesla is not the first company to enter it.

In trucks this size, not just vans?

Trucks this size. Plenty of full-size semis with full trailers doing deliveries for larger businesses, especially in dense urban areas (like downtown regions) where you need that much trailer space for all the stuff you load.
