Don't you know when you get gubment subsidy you can ignore physics and economic reality.

This statement is just dumb. Economically, the biggest amount of money to be made in that industry is in increasing the efficiency of big trucks. They drive the most miles and use the most fuel. Increasing the efficiency by the equivalent of a few miles per gallon is huge. And getting that kind of efficiency increase does not require anyone to ignore physics. Plus, known shipping routes are much easier to address and do away with problems like "range anxiety" that face passenger auto makers.
