Remember folks that Semi, Plaid, Roadster and CT all require a new battery technology. Trucking companies simply won't buy a Semi with the current battery life (and replacement cost of a 1MWh battery). We're basically talking about the same quantity of materials used, but a doubling of capacity.

You mean the most 'advanced' models you choose to believe in. My van is a box and it's at .33. I don't see how a CT could be worse. You keep banging on about mirrors when it's clear the CT won't have mirrors. If the US doesn't change it's laws soon, it will be the only market in the world requiring them. I mean even Australia is getting cameras, and we're a third world backwater.
