According to https://itstillruns.com/car-vs-tract...r-6579130.html, a semi without trailer can do 0 - 60 in 10 seconds, it takes 20 seconds with an empty trailer, and 35 seconds if fully-loaded.

Perhaps the Tesla could hit 60 with an empty trailer in 10 seconds and 17.5 with a full load, but would it?

People commented in this discussion that fast acceleration is irrelevant to trucking often prevented by the computer.

Still, wouldn't it be nice to be behind a semi that accelerates decently?

As someone who drives a truck, actual acceleration is nearly meaningless to me. At best something of a side bonus. Much more valuable is how well it can climb with a load. That right there puts money in a driver's pocket when terrain is involved.
