Mark I wasn't talking about a pickup truck. I specifically said: "Semi-truck" as in a big diesel semi that pulls big tractor trailers full of stuff. The very lifeblood of the country and the economy.

And no...there aren't any of those gonna happen any time soon that would actually be viable to transport large trailers thousands of miles.

That was my point. So diesel powered 18 wheelers are still gonna be running at full capacity on the nations highways for the foreseeable future.
