The thing you're missing, and most folks in this thread are missing is... there's already a bunch of electric semi's out there available for purchase right now.

Nobody is buying them (by nobody I mean so very few...). If Pepsi really thought electric was the way to go, they would already be doing it.

Tesla's semi is going to be a major flop...

Their range is awful that's why. Most of them have ranges with less than half of what the Tesla Semi has.

They have already sold a bunch of these. Close to 1000 units now I believe. Pepsi ordered 100 of them.

A pre-order based on a marketing prototype is not a real sale.
