The sourcing here is a bit spun. "An insider" turns out to be a random driver someone found at a truck stop?
> This is why it was with great fortune to receive the details below, which were told to a trusted automotive source of mine by a PepsiCo employee who happened to have time for my friend’s questions about the Semi at a charging station the other day
Note carefully the weasel phrasing: the actual source is not trusted, just the intermediary!
I mean, the details given seem plausible. But would you trust your cab driver as an authoritative source for the business value of their employers rolling stock?

- ajross 3y agoNo, it's literally the blog of a Tesla short-seller. Read the archives. I love a good Musk pot shot as much as the next guy, but there are trustworthy sources to put on the front page of HN and there are sources we shouldn't be seeing. And this is one of them. "My friend found a driver who knows super-secret business details" my butt, basically. Never trust an opinion site to break news. Ever.
