Standard Range: 325 miles at 82,000 lbs, curb weight under 20,000 lbs

What a shit website.
There was no class 8 truck available in 2024.
The Kenilworth Class 8 electric isn’t even out yet but will cost $365K.
325 miles @ 82,000 lbs? bullshit.
500 miles? more bullshit, that’s for 20,000lbs, or empty.
Diesel equivalents are $175K and proven to last.
