Well not never never just Tesla installed 10,000 new chargers worldwide last year..

Yes and how many were their Megachargers?

In the last ten years lithium batteries have doubled density so I don’t see why battery tech will get lighter and lighter.

That's guess work. But suppose they get lighter and lighter; will they have the same energy density?

If running costs r lower the poor truck drivers might be able to afford to work by the rules and not only follow the law, but make roads much safer by not driving fatigued, I would think that would be a good thing.

It would be a good thing if drivers did not try to maximise profits by doing more hours illegally. And that has little to do with costs, but maximising profits.

When Tesla release the Semi they will give details of the charger as well... no use doing it before they make any trucks is there ? Wink

exactly. A prototype is not product. Wink

Fortunately with Tesla when the Product is realised it's better than the original specs and a lot better than the prototype … they don't make concepts for car shows .
It's unfortunate that other companies r so far behind Tesla in range and power.... Although Volvo just released 2 trucks and one has 360 KM's of range and they r making garbage trucks , which if successful will make our mornings a bit quieter Wink

The nullabour would be perfect for autonomous driving being a nice long straight bit of road, then shorter range trucks with longer recharges wouldn't be a issue. Wink
