I'm not saying the trucks don't physically exist, just that I can't find evidence of deliveries to customers. Your approach to evidence here seems very lacking. - The first one we don't know if it's a customer. Why couldn't it be a prototype? Some guy just saw it charging? - The second one isn't a semi truck. - The third one seems to be footage of people sitting in a demo truck of some kind from a PR event about opening a charging station with a pledge to buy some in the future. Hardly seems like a slam dunk case that other people are all over this market.

  Good grief.

It's not doing you any good.

    bro you are sending me MARKETING VIDEOS and telling me not to be brainwashed by advertising. i simply tried to look up the number of trucks volvo and freightliner SAY they delivered

      Dude, you plainly didn't watch the first video where the name of the company operating the truck is WRITTEN ON IT. Your lazy response to that one was: "The first one we don't know if it's a customer." Try watching them start to finish. In the meantime, Volvo will get on with building and delivering BEV trucks and buses. Try not to worry so much that these practical realities invalidate your faulty preconceptions.
