Engineering Explained has another video talking about the Tesla Semi.

Estimates are:

Battery weight 10,000 lbs
Battery capacity 850 kWh (usable)
Max cargo weight 44,000 lbs
Cargo weight deficit ~6,000 lbs compared to conventional ICE

Turns out 2/3 of trucks "cube out" and 1/3rd "weigh out", meaning most run out of trailer volume rather than run out of weight capacity.

Do you think we'll reach 50% of commercial hauling going electric first, or 50% of passenger vehicles?
