> What would the alternative have been? Not reporting that they were purchased at all? They could have purchased any other vehicle, from any other manufacturer. Any other heavy duty truck would be a better choice than the Cybertruck, which is impractical and poorly designed. > The premise here seems to be that spacex purchased the trucks for the sole purpose of inflating the tesla reporting, which of course makes no sense from a business perspective It's almost like the owner of SpaceX, which is doing quite well right now, made a decision designed to benefit the owner of Tesla, which is struggling to sell a bunch of 2-ton chrome shitboxes. Wonder what those two individuals have in common. I'm sure that anyone, even you, will be able to figure it out with a little googling.
