It is not just the acceleration power that is important here. The Tesla truck does not need to change gear, ever. That will save a lot of time in town and in undulating terrain.
I see trucks, stopped at a traffic light, miss the next green light all the time.
The 'green wave' is tuned for cars, not for slowly accelerating trucks.
A fast accelerating Tesla truck may save one minute per traffic junction...
