    They also have no sleeper trucks, so "The industry" could easily mean "The local, shuttling between DC's and stores industry"
    I get such a chuckle about people complaining about the truck in situations where it's never been advertised as being. This is a local truck that starts and stops at the same location everyday like 99% of the daycabs out there.

    Yes common sense required for sure.
    I did not say anything about boats or planes. We talking about trucks here

    Not yet I agree. But they planning to launch it. Maybe it will come with even better range so will see.
    Again I don’t say it’s impossible! But to create a new charging chain for it will take at least 10-15 years

    Yes, but you're pointing out things that Tesla did NOT say about the truck.
    That would be quite a list lol.
    I don't buy a flatbed and expect them to tell me what not to do with it. That's up to me.
     
    Long FLD and ZVar Thank this.

    Oh? You sat in on Tesla's board meetings so you know what they are planning without them announcing it?

    Because as we all know Musk is so tight lipped on his plans on what Tesla is doing.
    And yes, that last sentence is 100% sarcasm.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Looks like a Volvo from outer space. I think all this new technology, including self driving Trucks is going to happen sooner than we think. 20 yrs ago, less than half the population had a pc. Now everyone’s got one in their hand that also makes phone calls.
     
    W923 Thanks this.

    Come on guys… I feel I like I’m talking to someone who has seen trucks only on pictures…
    If you drive every day you know all the details and problems. It all sounds good on paper but nobody knows what will be in the real world. Don’t get me wrong and I don’t want to be rude but all this sounds like a funboying to me
    Be real, we are not ready to go all electric yet
