CF used to run C trains between Edmonton and Calgary on Sundays. They had a special license. This was the 70s so I don't know if they can still do that.



This is pretty common on the prairies so if the Tractor gets 9 mpg wouldn't this combination be like 27 mpg? or a super "B" would be equivalent to 18 mpg?

It used ti be only CF. I don't think I have ever seen a C train outside of Alberta.

What does Tesla's truck mean for truckers?

What does it mean for oil and gas?

Considering that Tesla has been back to the banks, gvt and markets no less than 14 times since their inception only a few short years ago, I'd say that Tesla's advances in EVs means that we'll be relying on oil/gas for decades to come

If "we" means Alberta then I agree. Alberta will rely on selling oil and gas for decades to come.

Whether Tesla lasts or not their technology will. The way forward is pretty easy to see.

The truck is just a promotional thing for them. They will also unveil the worlds fastest production car - also just for promotion.

The only Tesla I have even seen belongs to a big wheel at BC Hydro.

It is a beautiful car.

btw Tesla's new $200k sports car?

0-100 in 1.9 seconds

400km/hr top speed

1000 miles on one charge

it's not their technology.

The heart of the tech rests in the electric motor that was initially developed in the late 1800s

The battery tech is essentially a large number of rechargeable, laptop computer batteries connected in parallel.

At this point, Tesla is little more than a giant marketing company with a little manufacturing
