Full disclosure, I drive a truck for a living, for the last 25 yrs.

Nice fantasy, but 500 miles of battery life with a full load at GVW of 80K lbs? And not much room for much of a load on that truck, with the 22 ton battery needed. Over promising is Musk's modus operandi. If the debacle of 260 of the promised 1500 Model 3's is any indication, the electric semi is quite far off.
