Charging times are down to under 30 minutes, but the issue is finding pull-through high kW chargers. Roughly 85% of over-the-road semis travel less than 300 miles per day. You are correct about long-range trucks. Before I retired from Cummins, the issue we ran into was utilities supplying power to charging stations due to supply chain issues. With new batteries from Tesla, Accerla by Cummins, and Cummins's acquisition of integrated power train manufacturer Meritor, you will see more semi-owners migrate once the infrastructure increases. In the USA, NEVI did not require pull-through, but many charging station owners are adding these because they are being built on major interstates.

Thanks for this excellent video on Tesla Semis. If Tesla hadn't fired its whole Supercharger plant, it could be deploying 800 Volt Surpercharger 4 sites which is all that would be needed to support EV truck Megachargers. That way these Supercharger sites could have a mix of truck megachargers and 350KW Supercharger 4s that would charge Cybertrucks at full speed. Since there are over 10,000 Cybertrucks floating around the USA now, its about time Tesla got on this. Elon deserves a good swift kick for firing the Supercharger team en masse. Perhaps you can put together a video on the subject of how Tesla's supercharger network is falling behind now both in numbers of sites and charging capability, just at the time other EV manufacturers are supposed to be getting charging privileges.

Not a fact at all. After 400 miles you need to get out and have a break. The future charges and batteries will charge enough to get to the next break as fast as you can eat and be ready to go again.

I think this is great but I keep coming back to the timeline for building the infrastructure for cross country trucking charging stations. Many are in the middle of nowhere just off an Interstate with just enough electrical service to operate the station itself. Now you're talking about 1 GWh charging?? How many of those would be needed for each station? Five? Ten? So, you could need 5-10 GWh of capacity in the middle of nowhere 100 miles from the next town. Sounds easy enough... Some is public land, some is private meaning getting permission. One farmer saying "No way, those things are scaring my cattle" would scuttle that location. Missing just one on a very long and empty stretch of interstate in the western US would make the entire trip impractical. Being Australian you understand long and empty highways. Once everything is in place absolutely this is a better way to go.

Drivers spend a lot of time loading and unloading, seeing to paperwork etc and rarely reach the legal limit of 11 hours max driving per day. Electric trucks will be just fine for most of that until ultra high speed chargers can be deployed along the interstates.

As you note at the end of the video, the problem with gigawatt charging is not the truck. It's the charging infrastructure. Tesla must build gigawatt chargers wherever these trucks need to go. One gigawatt charger draws power equivalent to a thousand homes. Ten chargers (one Semi truck stop) are equivalent to a small town. These chargers will be incredibly expensive, and Tesla must build thousands of them along interstate highways at least to support so many Semis. PepsiCo provides its own chargers for its short-haul Semis. Tesla can't sell 50k Semis a year on this model. A truck driver can own his own diesel truck, park it near his house, and maintain it himself, but he certainly can't charge it at home the way I charge my Bolt EV. The U.S. has a million owner-operators of diesel trucks, and they don't drive along routes with gigawatt chargers. It'll be a long time before Tesla captures this market.

If I had to rely exclusively on public charging, I wouldn't see much savings, and I expect the cost of charging a Semi will be even higher.

The current tesla semi is meant for local deliveries which is the largest market. So local chargers at the place of origin should be more than enough. Issue might be getting enough power for 30 semis.

For a Walmart RDC they are typically built on a major power distribution line. Some are built DELIBERATELY at the junction of two grids. That is because they have MILES of powered conveyor (YES, MILES) as well as fleets of electric fork trucks, and large data centers. I would expect two things from Walmart's fleet operations: a charging plan that minimizes the cost of electricity (Solar? Megapacks? Staggered? all of these?), and infrastructure that means the tractors don't have to charge anywhere else. Walmart has some of the most professional drivers in and best fleet operations in the world, and when they adopt electric trucks it is very, very unlikely they will mess up.

You really understood nothing. Do you imagine what that means when the old „sleepy“ Joe named Mary Barra as the head in EV development and besides only invited Jim Farley and Carlos Tavares to the White House but NOT the real one (not the 🤡😵💫🦄🤪💩) Making America Great Again? I also would support the enemy of my enemy which is my friend. Trump would cut subsidies for US carmakers, which only would not affect Tesla or Elon so much. He’s the only that repaid the money with interests that he was given by government AND Tesla earns money on EV AND has just sold the equivalent of 220‘000 cars in 1 Million USD Megapacks in addition. That’s only the ramp up so far! So who of those who can think with their own brain would not send a clear sign to the Democrats (and Republicans) that they should not care for Mafia-UAW and only respect those who have a future. Neither party can ignore what is going on and disruptive developments cannot be stopped by stock exchange and angle lawyers or judges from Delaware who work for Criminals and Oligarchs usually. Like in Europe it’s idiotic also to charge Chinese products with hypocrite punishing import duties just to kill the own economy in fact with still higher prices on anything and really have nothing competitive from any legacy and just old fashioned automakers. Even Trump and ‚normal’ Republicans, not those Nazi evolving now, are not so idiot. Legacy even lacks of working chargers and working software, not to speak about FSD, Gigacastings, Optimus, Powerwalls, CT or Semi. AI and SpaceX with Starlink. Oil will no one make great again that is in full mental health. So as this forementionned is all coming from Elon bringing that together with a strong vision to the world, where more expensive Tesla Y have been sold than cheap Toyota Corollas. That also from German and Chinese Gigafactories. So also Harris as President could no more ignore such as senile Biden obviously did.

Given the extreme emissions stands for diesels, the ROÍ for pure EV trucks will be the death knell for diesel and gas engine trucks. The reason many diesel trucks have larger fuel tanks is to get to the lower priced fuel stations. With EVs the cost of electricity is much less and about the same where ever you go. Remember that the trucking industry is driven by cost reductions. We are already there now for EVs being cheaper, just need charging stations and scalable production.

But let's talk about fires, like the forest fire in my home province of British Columbia that completely erased the town of Lytton a few years back. Let's talk about the forest fires that are ravaging places like California and Australia and Canada with increasing frequency and intensity because of global warming. Have you seen the videos, zero? These fires are also very hot. And large. And very hard to put out. But yes, by all means, let's just stop making electric cars and trucks and stay the course with fossil fuels--because that plan is working so well--and because in the rare event that a battery-powered vehicle catches fire, it's difficult to extinguish.

Any news about Tesla doesn't mean anything if they aren't able to deliver. Their cars are aging. Newer cars are coming with the same old battery pack with lower mile ranges. Mileage range gain is only being achieved by reducing motors. All touting about battery efficiency during Battery Day never really materialized with 4680. The truck they introduced is severely gimped; it would never be able to do the rope stunt in the production version as they had shown in the early days with the F150. The truck is underpowered, smaller, really pathetic range when towing and can't really go offroad. It was so bad, Mr Musk didn't talk about any features during the delivery date. I don't even want to touch the subject about autopilot/FSD. Waymo got them beat thoroughly so far. I like Tesla cars and have a model Y but really they haven't innovated at all. Any rhetoric what they can possibly do doesn't mean crap. It's what they deliver upon is what really matters. Real world numbers matter. Opinions do not.
