All these postings and no Semi or truck. Just more hype to be relevant. Almost like my daughters describing how clean their bedrooms would be.


Asking for a friend, do you park your fat behind here to check production update on the Tesla semi you ordered or simply to heckle those who've been waiting this long for theirs?
Does it make any difference? [emoticon] I come in here to heckle occasionally. I mean, it's been over 5 years and they're still just vaporware. A person can read how great they're going to be, and how they're going to revolutionize the industry, but where are they? I guess if the proponents weren't so rabid, it might be easier to just ignore them, but it's just too easy to poke them a little. [emoticon]

I believe the wait has been longer than anyone expected. Tesla has found other priorities.
Expectations still run high in most circles.

Speak the truth and get shamed. Sounds about right.

My friend won't understand. He has skins (a lot actually) as stockholder and waiting for his order.

And yet he himself don't mind. He thought that there will be complementation with the tech of Semis and Cybertruck and the delays would actually get these improvements in technologies.

Musk, Cybertruck Best Tesla Product Ever

At least the reporters aren't biased toward Tesla. [emoticon] Even handed articles are pretty scarce, since mostly it's non-news, just more hype about a non-production vehicle. Sounds like Trump: "It'll be the greatest, most amazing, fantastic, etc." Nothing but superlatives. [emoticon]

I have no doubt it will be. [emoticon]
Talk to any Tesla owners how they like their cars.

Musk is waiting what the competition comes up with,then tops everyone,mark my words.

Anyone tired of waiting should go buy Hummer Ive heard GM is number 1 in EV production acording to big Joe Brandon LOL

Or Nikola, look how busy their factory is

Semi New Megachargerss

Taking the cudgels from @fj12ryder and @dadoffourgirls -- so many mega chargers and so little Tesla semis.

And for us where hope spring eternal, wish Cybertrucks towing RVs will have access to these pull-through chargers.

It would only make sense. It would make a lot more sense for any EV to be able to charge quickly at any charger. For this whole EV thing to really work, the industry needs to figure that part out.

There is standardized charging for EVs. Quite widespread also. There is an available adapter for Tesla to use the standard stuff.
