Exponential wear on highways for one- the heavier the load the worse
for the underlying road. They aren't built for that kind of load and will quickly fall apart.

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.

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

why would that be bad? Higher payloads = fewer trucks

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.

A 30k-lb tow rating? LOL.
