The Tesla truck is not commercial, a manufacture doing road testing is hardly a commercial vehicle operation. There is the possibility that Tesla would have to buy trip permits out of state without IFTA but, not sure?

Scrap Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 They added electric and hydrogen to the IFTA tables 4th quarter last year. Well, at least that's when our IFTA auditor pointed it out to me. Most states don't do much with it but some have a real small amount for straight electric. I haven't had to send in my Blink receipts, etc so far though. Just send in mileage only on those for now, but they are getting that all figured out. That truck doesn't have the M plates on it that the car has, so they registered it commercial IRP. It must have been the one that hauled the batteries around or an outside testing service is running it or something. They won't make it far without door decals! Yea, M plates need trip & fuel permits for every out of state trip. Heh, oops, yea you kind of have to get your lighting, signals, and markings right before you put your door cert label on and hit the road. They need to fix that before it catches up to them!

noteven Posted July 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Why does Tesla call their truck a “semi”? Semi what? Trailer? No, it connects to a semi trailer, it isn’t one... Sane? No, that’s taken 😁 Semi automatic? Semi ....what? Quote "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Schneider Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 "Semi" is actually a fairly common name for the tractor that pulls a semi-trailer. Short for "semi-trailer truck". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
