I understand why we have weight limits, but traffic would only get better

Elon claims new pickup will tow 300K

You’re right about capability vs rating. Current semis can pull upwards of 400,000lbs and do so in Australia...

Shorting Tesla is starting to become more profitable than investing in it.

Brilliant board name, BTW.

300k lbs is far exceeds any allowable load rating in the US so what's the point

Nevermind, just saw Toko's article above. Cool deal but imagine how horrific

Exponential wear on highways for one- the heavier the load the worse

I was being facetious. You know how two trucks pass each other and end up

Road Trains should never be allowed within city limits. But for long haul, point to point routes it can make sense.

Doubt he makes a truck worth buying at his claimed 49k price point either

And the VW Touareg 'can' tow a 747.

Is that the euro setup of the 747's engines paired together on each wing instead

For about 15 miles, then the battery runs out.

Maybe he means 300 kg

A 30k-lb tow rating? LOL.
