While I don't like the look of the Model S or 3, I do like that new Roadster.... If only I had a disposable $250k close at hand...and for those of you who say you won't buy a EV till they have enough range,,, well they must have been listening. Is 620 miles enough?

Red flags pop up for me only when the CEO of a company isn't available to the general public/reservation holders to ask the questions they may or may not like the answers to. Musk is a CEO that is out front and leading his company. No red flags on my front since Elon has a track record of doing what he says he's doing. I respect that. Strange behavior would be no word from a Company CEO.The Tesla semi certainly sounds good, but the fact that Elon did not take any questions at the reveal sends up red flags. What is he afraid of, questions that he doesn't want to answer? You would think he would want to talk about it. Strange behavior. He mentioned the mileage at 500 hauling 80,000 lbs, but how much of that is truck with battery and how much is payload? He also said how fast it would charge using megachargers. Again, no details. Some basic calculations show the semis to have about a 1 MW battery. The amount of current needed to charge these batteries is indeed "mega". It will be interesting to watch Tesla for the next few years.
and then there's the President?CEO? of Elio Motors, to whom you email to get a response, unless he's meeting in public with elected officials.Red flags pop up for me only when the CEO of a company isn't available to the general public/reservation holders to ask the questions they may or may not like the answers to.

Yeah... Holy crap! They got the 0-60 time below 2 seconds but can't get that cost down. But still... that's quite the range.Latest news from Tesla

How can you not like the guy?? Just by employing thousands of our workers on his Tesla factory, Mega battery factory, his rocket projects and now EV trucks are no laughing matter because it helps our economy...he can also easily just build all these overseas on cheap labor but he didn't! Yes, Tesla cars are not within everybody's budget at the moment but I won't be surprised if he comes up with his own version of an EV trike most people can afford. PE should knock at EM door and see if he can convince him to turn our ELIO to EV....that's the only thing that'll get his (EM) attention.Red flags pop up for me only when the CEO of a company isn't available to the general public/reservation holders to ask the questions they may or may not like the answers to.

Thanks. It's good to know there isn't currently or never has been Federal subsidies provided to the gas and oil companies.

I thought they said 80,000 payload. That would not include the battery. I imagine that they would switch out batteries at the truck terminals. We used a twenty hour a day utilization on our trucks. Five hundred miles would not work. We bought 100 tractors a year, the savings would be incredible.The Tesla semi certainly sounds good, but the fact that Elon did not take any questions at the reveal sends up red flags.
