Any bets?

Odds should be good for the naysayers specially with Elon's lost credibility (and current distraction as Chief Tweet and Putin and Xi messenger, lol).

Must be some EV haters which my daughter and son-in-law often encounter along these roadways while driving their Teslas.

The long-awaited Tesla Semi was recently spotted in Silver Springs, not far from the Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada.

This time, the Semi - with a trailer attached - was seen stopping at a roundabout and then accelerating effortlessly - quickly, smoothly and silently, which looks a bit unrealistic, especially when compared to ordinary diesel trucks.

Let's recall that the Tesla Semi is promised to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (96.5 km/h) in 20 seconds (when fully loaded).

However, there is no info on whether the trailer shown in the video, shared by Zanegler @HinrichsZane, was full or empty.

NHRA's new Street Legal EV class will make its championship debut at the NHRA Summit Racing Series National Championships at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The entry list includes eight drivers in Street Legal EV across each of the seven NHRA divisions, marking a highly successful first year for the new class.

Same starting point and end point. Tesla arrived in 26 minutes while Cruise arrived in 40 minutes. Tesla originally wanted to take the highway and get there in 18 minutes but I tried to force it not to take the highway to create a more fair matchup with more similar routes.

I do agree that self driving is some time in the future.

So were telephones once upon a time.
