i simply tried to look up the number of trucks volvo and freightliner SAY they delivered As of February of this year Volvo say they've sold over 4300 electric trucks. https://www.volvotrucks.se/sv-se/news/press-releases/2023/feb/volvo-leads-the-booming-market-for-electric-trucks.html https://www.volvotrucks.se/sv-se/news/press-releases/2023/fe... Others sites are claiming over 5000 by the end of 2023, but I can't find any numbers directly from Volvo

Here's one from June: https://www.volvotrucks.com/en-en/news-stories/press-releases/2023/jun/volvo-delivers-74-tonne-electric-truck.html https://www.volvotrucks.com/en-en/news-stories/press-release... > Since Volvo Trucks started production of all-electric trucks in 2019, the company has sold nearly 5,000 electric trucks in 40 countries around the world. Volvo today offers the industry's widest product range with six electric models in series production that meet a broad range of needs for transport in and between cities. Globally, Volvo Trucks has set the target that half of all trucks sold are electric by 2030.

    Brah, maybe you should try some WORRY BEADS. People find them relaxing. Embrace the reality that Volvo builds lots of electric heavy vehicles. You'll feel better. Hang in there. Tesla deprogramming takes patience and time.

      this is called moving the goalposts. if everyone making electric semi trucks is doing so in low volume and only the last year or two, then its silly people are getting bent out of shape about this

        Remember where you started. You said, "Volvo has possibly not delivered any?". And you said, "I'm not saying the trucks don't physically exist, just that I can't find evidence of deliveries to customers." You're flat wrong, aren't you. Admit to it. It will be a weight off your shoulders.
