Muddy you seem a little confused with units. A charger will be rated in kW or MW not kWh or MWh. Only a battery or total power used is measured in kWh or MWh. Now a Tesla V2 supercharger is rated at 120kW and the V4 megacharger is rated at 1MW which is about 8 x the power, not quite the "more than ten times the power levels" So in half an hour under the right conditions a megacharger can push 500 kWh into a semi battery and it would take an hour and a half (and 3 nearly flat semi batteries) to push out the 1.5MWh that you were babbling about.

Now the information I saw deduced that the Tesla Semi weighed 27 000lb without the trailer so its weight penalty would depend entirely on exactly which ICE primemover of thousands on the market you choose to compare it with but the range is between 19 000 and 23 000lb. You chose the lowest one, I went high so we are both right. Now I do have issue with your 80 000lb battery, I don't know where you dragged that up from but it is just male bovine excreta. The LR Tesla Semi has a 1MWh battery weighing 13 000lb (5.9T). The SR Semi has a 600kWh battery weighing just under 8 000lb (3.6T).

Trucking companies have looked at teh ecomoncs & not that impressive.

If you soak up the marketing...then good for you.

Has Elon got the battery/ range/ performance in his ludicrous car yet?????

All Elon babble.

He does need money at the rate he is blowing up rockets & polluting the planet with Co2.
