    Model P has always been the best option for the pickup truck.

    HGV or lorry.

    Trucks are little things, why you call it a semi truck when its bigger than 1 truck is rather odd. You should call them double trucks. I know the trailer is the other half but the name makes it sound smaller, half the size of a truck.

    BFT - Big F'in Truck, or for media purposes Big Freight Truck.

    Has anyone looked up Tesla trademarks on this? I am not sure where to search.

    How about the "Musk" truck! It will also come with a jar of Musk Oil for the driver!

    It is supposed to be tractor and semi-trailer. As the trailer is not a full trailer as it requires the tractor to support the front of it.

    Why not Tesla PT (Platoon Truck) or Tesla PST (Platoon Semi-Truck)?

    "Semi" is what it is called on the western side of the USA. On the East, we call it a Tractor-Trailer. In the south it is called an 18-wheeler:
