Not really, Cummins knows their customer, the TSLA offering does not address any market demands, their design looks like it was done in a vacuum without looking at how a semi is used.
The infrastructure required on a 1200 KWHR semi does not exist, supercharging that size pack is not feasible over the road.
The Cummings offering is much more feasible and could actually be built, sold and used for its intended purpose going between dry docks and moving local loads.
the TSLA offering well really can’t , as designed it wouldn’t be drivable between dry dock and depot.
