I don’t know if they’ll be able to deliver production trucks and live up to the “up to 300 mile range” promise.

But god, is that an ugly grill! Definitely giving the new Lexus models a run for their money lol

There are no competitors to Tesla. Just ask them!

From the article it sounds like Cummins and Daimler-Fuso are the farthest behind / promising the least. It sounds to me like Tesla can win the market if they can produce.

I like that Thor is promoting the range with a 300,000 payload, and their construction, growth, and business models seem pretty good. They will need to be quick to market since Tesla will have lower prices.

I found these articles helpful:
