Reply to comment by PlayfulParamedic2626 in Tesla Semi 500-Mile Trip Video Shows Truck May Have Had a Lower GVW Than 81,000 Lb by Ssider69

I think it is 80k exactly for ICE trucks, but Electric tracks recently were allowed to be 82k… so it is possible that as a result, Tesla can haul as much as ICW trucks.

Good video with bunch of math checking Tesla claims - https://youtu.be/Uv44W7xa4IU

That assumes unloaded Tesla semi trucks weigh the same as ICW trucks. A big false assumption if you look at the weight of normal EVs compared to gasoline cars.
