      Yeah, how dare the 100% efficient, highest possible torque drivetrain type be used to move heavy vehicles. Those damn Chinese don’t know anything and are obviously fad chasers.

            The battery weight kills the capacity. There are legal limits how much weight truck+load can have. Every kilogram of truck weight increase, means a kilogram less for cargo. For Tesla Semi this absolutely killed any notion of of business usecase. Same physics govern chinese trucks.
