Blizzard warnings have been issued across the Central Plains, threatening Christmas Day travelers with delays and dangerous road conditions.

More than 1.1 million people in parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming were under blizzard warnings on Monday afternoon.

“Significant winter storm will ‘let it snow, let it snow, let it snow’ over portions of the Central Plains on Christmas where blizzard conditions and hazardous travel are anticipated; treacherous ice accumulations expected in the eastern Dakotas and northern Minnesota,” the National Weather Service said early Monday.

      Yes. That is the point. Tesla trucks would be unable to replace diesel trucks in this scenario. Tesla trucks can’t make it across the country in sunny weather without a pit crew tailing them, much less handle a double digit below zero midwest snowstorm. I am pointing it out because this is yet another place where Elon was lying.

        But why in the world are you bringing them up at all? They literally have nothing to do with this article. You are adding nothing to the conversation and taking the entire thread off topic.

          Okay, but how would a Tesla 2-in-1 weedwacker/edger perform on your lawn vs. a gas-powered model?
