technologies that frankly, should have been pretty much developed by now.
how would you propose to do that?
Technological leaps can't be planned...
The problem is energy density. LIon batteries are just BARELY good enough..and they are EXPENSIVE. The whole point of owning a truck is to make a profit. The batteries alone in the semi-truck would cost over one hundred thousand dollars...without the truck.
So...you're looking at a quarter million dollars price tag.
Can you afford that?

Depends how long they last and how much are they saving in gas?
if you can't afford to buy it that doesn't matter.
I guess it's only for large corporations right now. Loblaws just ordered 25 and i think walmart ordered some.
I was as trucker (owned my own truck) for over two decades.
It's changed a LOT since I started.
The government is driving the small guy OUT (big surprise)
Pretty soon there will ONLY be big corporations.
By "technologies that should have been developed by now" I was talking about the general energy storage technologies by utilising clean energy.
And Tesla hasn't revealed the price of the truck yet.
