      I’m going to assume there’s a service and transporting contract of some kind in there too.

        My cursory search suggested that even really nice (internal-combustion) semis top out around $200K. I have no idea what a reasonable price for a “service and transporting contract” would be, but “more than the truck itself” still seems like a lot.

          I found 300k on a Kenworth model. But reading more about what they want to do, they need startup costs. They’re going to lease the trucks directly to drivers and companies. So a big chunk is going to operations costs until they get going, marketing, etc.

          Honestly I’m fine with spending a little more on this to make sure it doesn’t run out of money before getting off the ground.
