  1. The next one is gonna be Trump. I have to listen to my dad rave about him until the end of 2025 at the latest. By the end of the year the whole world is going to be in a very bad place because of Trump. I'll get to say "I told you so" but at what cost.

  2. Could you imagine how heavy a megacharger cable would be? Not to mention charging a battery that fast will likely shorten the battery lifespan drastically. They claim the Semi can get 500 miles of range. Keep in mind that's best case scenario. Typically you will see about 20% loss just from changes in grade, wind, temperature etc. So cut that down to 400 miles. Now lets say you want to maintain the battery as well as possible. Well that means you cannot charge the battery more than 90% and cannot discharge it more than 40% without damaging it. Really they want you to keep it above 50% but we'll give them some room. So that means that 400 miles becomes 200 miles. Now consider that you must have enough range to get back home. That means that 200 miles becomes 100 miles because you'll need the other 100 miles of range to get back. So you can only run routes that are 100 miles or less. Just for reference most truck drivers drive 600-750 miles per day on average. Now you could use the full 400 miles of range and stop at a megacharger and then charge up and go another 400 miles. But remember that will greatly damage the battery and it would likely only last 100,000 miles best case scenario. Given that this battery pack will likely cost around $150,000 that's not an option. Then you run into the logistical nightmare of the megachargers. So most likely megachargers will simply not exist and you would have to rely on superchargers instead. Those would likely take more than 10 hours to fully charge the 1000 kw battery pack. I mean there's simply no scenario where the Tesla Semi works. Period. End of story.

  3. To be fair he did big advancements in EV technology and space travel. But then again in order to be a good con man you have to deliver on at least some of your promises or people will call BS. His strategy is simple. Make unrealistic claims to get stock value to increase in order to fund his companies. This way he can make slow progress and pocket billions of dollars. I do hope that one day he will face the consequences of his lies. At some point Tesla stock will tank and when it does all of those people who invested in it are going to lose everything because this man lied to them. At that point legal action will likely happen.
