I have a Camry hybrid. I LOVE it! Its my second Camry hybrid, and I get 49.1 mpg driving around town, a little more on the highway. Its quiet and streamlined, has all the bells and whistles of a gas Camry, and I didn't find it expensive - it was a last year leftover the dealer probably needed to get off the lot. They gave me a good deal on my trade-in as well. I think the prices have come down on the hybrids, and are closer in price to the regular gas guzzlers. I hardly ever seem to fill up with gas. I think the range is around 550 miles if I recalll or something similiar.I can see why people might reject an all - electric car, with concerns about range, having to plug in etc., but a hybrid is like a regular car, just gets better mileage, there is no plugging in. I will probably never by an all gasoline car again.

Maybe GM will import this...Still cheaper than a golf cart.

First of all, semis (diesel-based) do not have a cargo capacity of 80,000 lbs, as you stated. 80,000 lbs is the total weight limit for the entire truck, including the cargo. However, EV semis in the US have a 82,000 lb total weight limit. In Europe, the EV semi total weight limit is 84,000 lbs. Some estimates have the Tesla Semi powertrain weight with a 300 mile battery pack at about the same weight as a diesel powertrain. For longer range batteries, the additional 2,000 lbs of total weight limit will offset some of the additional battery weight. Clearly, they are waiting for at-scale production of the 4680 batteries since their energy to weight ratio is better than the 2170s. As I already stated, they will make sense for some applications, not all. For example, those instances where the truck is only out for a day and returns to the same depot every night and there is sufficient range for the whole day is one such application. Mentioning a 787 is a strawman argument. Please feel free to post again once the Tesla Semi starts shipping in volume and real world data is available. If it's cost per mile is better than a diesel it will do well.
