2000 mile range of a diesel. Probably only 200 to 300 for this POS (I doubt even that but trying to be nice). Electric motors drain batteries super fast under heavy load conditions, and long and even short haul cargo trucks are expected to carry up to 40,000 pounds of cargo. The whole truck including tractor, trailer, and cargo can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. This electric tractor might make it 500 miles on its own. Add the trailer and cargo and likely not even 200 miles. A half hour wasted every 200 miles will bankrupt the trucker. No one will want to hire his/her truck if it wastes that much time.

It doesn't matter how fast it charges if it can't drive as far as a diesel with 40,000 pounds of cargo. The heavier the weight, the more toque required, which is the Achilles Heel of electric motors and batteries. They aren't telling us anything if they don't show how far it drive pulling a 40,000 pound cargo on a long trailer. 80,000 pounds altogether. Diesel tractor trailers can drive up to 2000 miles on a full fuel load, depending on tank size. I seriously doubt a Tesla semi can drive even 200 to 300 miles with a full cargo load of 40,000 pounds.

Is it normal for law enforcement to arrest people in other countries, breaking their local laws in the process?

It's what we call kidnap.

If it really gets that bad then I expect there will be new skilled jobs, such as making guillotines and hunting billionaires.

Also helps Russia take them all out with a few carefully placed shots, and then reduces the recovery time.

Coincidental, I'm sure. It's not like the world is getting more dangerous, with leaders ready to do whatever it takes too e.g. avoid getting kidnapped.

Nobody is going to do anything of consequence, because it's Venezuela.

The other SA countries might try to improve their defences. Greenland definitely will.

Anyone else notice that the US legal position is now that foreign presidents can be held accountable to US law, but the President of the United States can't be?

Gives licence to everyone else now. Putin must be pleased.

Captured -> Kidnapped.

I'm fairly sure it's just trolling because someone took their phones away. Make that decision as annoying as possible in the hope it gets reversed.

The countries with the best quality of life are an social democracies, with left leaning politics. The left is doing fine, that's why the narrative that every socialist country is a failed shit hole has to be pushed so hard.

It's not news, it's low quality political debate. They get a panel of guests in, usually a politician from the two main parties and one other, and a couple of journalists or businesspeople or charity workers.

The audience asks some questions related to current events, and each member of the panel gives an answer. The politicians just repeat the party talking points and focus group approved phrases. The journalists give ideological answers.

There is a strong right wing bias. The moderator is biased, the choice of guests heavily favours the right wing. In the political side they keep having the far right on, but very rarely anyone from even the moderate left. As this study shows, for journalists it's mostly the far right ones too.

Fox News is famous for ignoring stories that make Trump look bad.

The BBC isn't supposed to have a party line. This show has a moderator, but they typically do not express their own opinions. The one they have now is right leaning anyway.

The sister programme Any Questions on Radio 4 is much better. Better moderators, better guests, better questions and debate. Question Time should be better.
