I can think of multiple mega carriers right now that their company Board of Directors are going what the frack where we thinking pouring millions of dollars into this boondoggle.  The biggest one is US Express.  If I remember correctly they had 200 on order.  The others all had some also.  Right now their lawyers are going well we're going to get paid however there isn't anything to recover here.

Seems the prototypes were rigged with all sorts of supplimental power not stored in the trucks batteries on board (lol).
