The Tesla truck is vaporware https://youtu.be/56862W24HK8

The reservation page is up, they are talking delivery in 2022.

Like they took delivery in 2019?

And in 2022 it will be 2024. And you will continue to think that doesn't matter. If deadlines don't matter why can't Nikola claim the same thing? "It doesn't work yet, but it will?"

Because Tesla did not demonstrate fake trucks to get funding or take orders. The prototypes are not making materially false implications. Tesla does have the technology to make electric trucks, however bad they may be compared to Nikola which had a rolling shell.

Tesla and Musk do many bad things, but I'm sure if their truck was just a shell - they'd be in deep trouble too.

They demonstrated fake Solar shingles though. Then bailed out a related party and did a fundraise on it.

It still doesn't say how much it will be able to carry. They'll sell some for the marketing value, but no company will replace their diesel fleet with it
