Tesla tractor reliability

I haven’t seen a thing, and the shorters are usually writing articles all over the place about this stuff

 

This poster has had nothing but bad things to say about Musk. He makes insinuations and out of context statements to paint Tesla and Musk in as bad a light as possible.

This is not a reliable source IMO.

That said, I don't know how the Semi rollout is doing in its first quarter on the roads.
I look forward to hearing about it from Pepsi or other owners.

 

I have seen reports on sightings of Semis being towed, but no follow up. Could be a major issue. Could be minor. Could just be one lemon truck. Hard to tell without details.

 

Infantile problems are common enough with any new product. It is not that early problems occur but how fast they are diagnosed and corrected.

Another early problem with the Tesla brakes identified by Consumer Reports was diagnosed and corrected with an over the air update in a week. This rapid response impressed all who learned of it.

Since the potential, annual fleet savings are easily close to $100,000, I suspect there will be patience with these problems. Find it, fix it, and the rest is money saved enough to pay for the truck.

We don’t throw the baby out with the first problem. They do get better.

Except that Pepsi knew what they signed up for in being first to get the Tesla semi. They know that the move to EVs is coming and they wanted to be first, it seems. Sure they could wait until all their competitors made the switch first and take very little risk. But they didn't chose that path.
