I don't see the costs listed yet. Sure hope it's comparable to the diesels!

I think it will be slightly more expensive but still within the same range to make sense. I think the biggest thing to consider with one of these (especially long-term) is the cost savings in maintenance and fuel. It's very likely this will be the major deciding factor for anyone who would buy it, especially large logistics companies. What I'm more interested in is, why haven't more companies bought it yet to even trial? Is it Tesla limiting these trial versions? Or is it companies lack of interest?

That idea of saving over the long term will most likely work on businesses better than it does on people.
As for the why more companies haven’t trialed it- Maybe there aren’t that many available, and no harm in letting someone else be the Guinea Pig. Huh, I’m gonna have to look that idiom up, guessing it comes from some kind of horrible medical testing.

I’m seeing $260k and $290k now on YouTube Tailosive or something channel.

If that is the actual cost, then that is definitely on the higher side of what your typical semi costs when new.

Naw, the price is about the same for a new ice truck.

I’m curious about FSD handles a truck and why two screens ?

Also, are the tires Ev tires wearing out faster than ice tires, cause that’s an added expense ?
