Hmmm. Doesn't Tesla usually offer a loaner car while a Tesla is in for repairs? If they did the same thing with semis, would shipping companies accept it?
- termie 9y agoIf the math works there — could now or over time — then once L5 hits imagine the possibilities. L5 trucks towing broken L5 trucks with a third taking the cargo. I missed the video, but I’d bet huge that needed tech is probably prototyped already, at least in the elonoggin. Well done Elon!
- Smushman 9y ago"at least in the elonoggin. Well done Elon!" You got a little doo doo on your nose. elonoggin? Really??!
- termie 9y agoStill kinda giddy about the Roadster, too. Guilty — can’t get enough of Elon’s disruption (personal life aside) —- sue me or grab the pitchforks.. i’ll serve you lemonade. :)
- taneq 9y agoSo sort of a subscription model for trucks? You buy (or more likely rent) "a truck" and Tesla supplies you with "a truck" but it's not necessarily always the same truck?
- njarboe 9y agoMusk talked about people leasing these trucks, not buying them, so maybe that is the current plan.
