New battery would be a big,big deal, I think. But I have to question all the costs for an EV this big. Including all those charging stations. Wondering whether the smaller owner operators could even afford a startup. I don’t know how it would really work out, but I have lots of doubts for something like this. Call me...very dubious.

“Call me...very dubious.”

Me as well.....it’s already been well established that battery operated vehicles struggling extreme temperatures.

Change just for the sake of change with no improvement is foolish to say the least.

Musk stated publicly in 2017 that the Semi would be guaranteed not to break down for one million miles. He didn't say whether that included the battery or not, and there is nothing on their website to clarify this. The battery warranty on their passenger autos is 8 years or 100-150K miles, whichever comes first.
