Elon Musk, the Palo Alto carnival barker (and poster-boy of the “climate change” hysteria being foisted upon us by Californistan Illuminati), tweeted that his truck, which does not exist, is a “beast”. He also said that it is “worth seeing this beast in person.
“Seriously next level” sounds like something you might here in casual conversation at your local internet coffee bar, muttered by juveniles:
Tesla Semi truck unveil set for September. Team has done an amazing job. Seriously next level.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 13, 2017
Musk had originally said the company would reveal a prototype of the vehicle in September. He then pushed the reveal date back to October 26. And on Friday he delayed the reveal date yet again.
The electric-car maker is now expected to reveal the electric big-rig on November 16, Musk said in a tweet on Friday.
Musk has blamed the delay on Puerto Rico, claiming Tesla is working heroically on producing batteries for the crippled island. As a Silicon Valley Eco-hero, you have to keep your climate change fans happy as well as your investors, after all.
It will be interesting to hear him explain why truckers would want a rig that can only travel 300 miles before it has to be recharged when the average miles traveled by most semis is somewhere around 600 miles a day.
Charging stations would be a challenge as this is not as simple as throwing a few superchargers next to the gas pumps. We are talking about taking up a lot of real estate in the truck stops and that might not make the other drivers very happy.
Driverless rigs are also bandied about in this conversation, which I am sure will thrill the Teamsters Union. I have even heard talk of one human-driven truck electronically towing a fleet af driverless vehicles behind him. Freight trains on the highway. Imagine attempting to change lanes with a driverless convoy in the middle lane. What could go wrong? There is so much basic reality that never seems to make it into the conversation. Ford Motor claims they will have driverless vehicles on the road in three years from now.
“In the event of a pending accident, will the software in a driverless vehicle protect the occupants or pedestrians?”

Another Musty’s wet dream yet to be hand-welded together by a bunch of racist but artsy rednecks.
I want to believe.
Sounds like at least one Fox News fan failed to buy the TSLA breakout at $40.
I’m sure he’ll be there to opportunistically short it back down to $40 whilst dancing on the ashes that represented your once glorious portfolio.
True, Ferd. I tend to buy based on anticipated revenue, hence my large stakes in Microsoft in 1991 and Apple in 2003. How am I doing? No doubt much better than your ten shares of Tesla.
