Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK March 8, 2018 With a trailer full of battery packs in tow on its way to complete the first production cargo trip for the company from Gigafactory 1 in Nevada to Fremont car factory in California. Tesla will be the first customer for its own truck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV March 8, 2018 Logical move. With car factory in California and battery factory in Nevada and Semi in the middle, you don't need anyone else for delivery. Great advertising. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Selva + 252 SP March 8, 2018 Being your own first customer is a great idea. You save your money, see any possible weakness in manufacture and any flaws in the operation of these trucks. Better to find it by yourself than by unsatisfied customers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam Varga + 123 AV March 8, 2018 Now other truck makers bite their nails while waiting to see if Tesla is going to make it possible. The incredible specs of this truck created many skeptics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vlad Kovalenko + 115 VK March 8, 2018 Musk has already done much more incredible things than this to happen. Remember the rocket. This is a piece of cake for him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A lot is at stake, I hear, a lineup of 10 e-trucks, to be rolled out in 2021, versus the Semi's 2019 schedule. AND biting their nails. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
