Sony (and Microsoft) both have to fix their distribution issues before games can be made that don't support the last generation consoles

The infrastructure needed is completely insane, I think Tesla said it would take 2kwh per mile...can you imagine recharging 100 trucks at once after all of them did a 500 mile drive, all at the same truck stop? You get 10 hours to do it before they have to be rolling again. That's a crazy amount of power being sucked in all at once.

He's probably dead on accurate since that weight would put a standard tractor with a 53 foot dry van at max GVWR of 40 tons

Yes, that sounds right. We usually couldn't get more than 47000 pounds on but you could get 48000 if you can precisely control where the load is going and have a sliding 5th wheel and don't fill the fuel tanks up all the way. This truck would have had an 80,000 pound limit, it wasn't an EV.

How does that video prove anything? Eaton did a demonstration of their new (at the time) Ultra Shift Plus automatic transmission for us in a tractor trailer loaded to max gross weight...it had a dozen jersey barricades in the trailer and nothing else. It wasn't the full but the weight was maxing it out. We weighed it on our scale before leaving.
Fyi the transmission was awesome, we tried to break it right in front of the Eaton reps by doing full stops on steep hills and it just took everything we threw at it.
