    Why is more motors better for the average truck consumer?

    Yep, And it would mostly make EV's more attractive for the folks that drive the most. Getting EVs in the hands of 30,000 miles/year plus drivers would make a much bigger impact on reducing carbon emissions... If reducing carbon emissions is one of the main goals of Tesla.

    Why is more motors better for the average truck consumer?

    I get why more motors are faster and have more pulling power, and I get where the real Tesla fans really like more speed and more power and are willing to pay for it.
