Dude. Have you ever dealt with operating anything ever?

Torque isn’t the problem. Duh. Electricity kicks the **** out of internal combustion all day every day. Getting torque to the asphalt is the problem.

Everything on trucks needs to be heavy duty. Engineering a 2000lb car to run 200,000 miles is not even in the same universe as an 85000 lb truck for 1,000,000. Everything from the kingpin to the lugnuts need intensive testing.

The engineering has to be ****ing right or it just won’t work in a fleet.

It’s way different than engineering a passenger car
