re: Tesla Semi could be ‘the biggest catalyst in trucking in decades’

It would seem like the better market for tesla would be the local route, not OTR, where trucks return to depot every day

I agree. I would start with class 8 day cabs.

I suppose they think they can keep a charge for at least as long as the DOT hourly regs for drivers, and then get fully recharged in less than 10 hours.

And autonomous driving will probably make it possible to extend what a driver can do safely in one shift. Eventually they may be able to replace drivers.
