4.- Tesla’s Trucks Will Deliver Massive Profits For Investors/ ?????
By Jason Simpkins
Written Apr. 13, 2018
Tesla launched its electric truck division, Tesla Semi, last November, and in the past few months, orders have been rolling in by the hundreds.
Delivery giant UPS was among the first companies to place an order, claiming 125 electric trucks from Tesla.

========================================================
Tesla obviously won’t be the only company profiting, either.
Thor Trucks, a California-based startup, has also developed an electric semi that can haul 80,000 pounds of cargo and travel up to 300 miles on a single charge. It’s going to be competing with Tesla next year.
Other auto manufacturers could follow.
-------------------------------------
They’d be stupid not to. Demand for electric trucks is going to skyrocket as more and more companies come to realize the savings.
Comparing fuel efficiency of diesel trucks to a vehicle that uses no fuel is inexact, but electric trucks will get something close to 52 miles per gallon (about five times the MPG of the gas truck). And since EVs have fewer parts and fluids, maintenance costs are lower, too.
In all, operating costs for electric trucks figure to be 20% lower. And those savings will compound over the 20+-year lifespan of a truck.
