Topic: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
Posted By: BenK on 06/08/21 10:02am

Another top Tesla exec leaves: Tesla Executive and Top Musk Lieutenant Has Left the Company

Speculation for the lateness of the Semi & cancellation of the plaid on this article and several other articles...is that the 4680 battery is behind schedule. Similar to the delays for Model 3 and the new at that time battery delays.

"Is the Space X rocket engine option already available?"
