My roomie is a trucker. He has laughed so much at the Tesla semitruck because it kind of fails at everything a truck is meant to do.

Technically, it’s far less explosive than a gasoline powered vehicle. However, batteries are very hard to extinguish if they catch fire.

Any fires are the product of a technical malfunction, and those are very easy to either mitigate, and, especially, engineer beyond.

Gasoline will always be flammable, and using it as a fuel source will always present certain concerns and risks. Measured against battery technology, however, it’s kind of a no-brainer as to which is much more safe.

Even Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cells (unquestionably more explosive than any battery or gasoline powered vehicle) are now technically safer than gasoline powered vehicles, just because of their amazing containment pods for the hydrogen fuel. Again, this sort of thing is just an engineering problem, not a problem with developing new resources and/or new techniques of harnessing their energy output.

Don’t worry, he doesn’t supply any guidance, only orders to orders who then do the things.

This man has no talents to speak of.

His ideas inspire awe, just not the type he assumes we have.
