What do those have to do with aeronautics? Bezos has no formal training in rocketry. He’s about as qualified as I am with my computer engineering undergrad degree.

No it’s not. The problem is that many people portray things which aren’t true as facts, and that is disinformation.

Tesla are making a 300 mile one and a 500 mile one. First deliveries to Frito Lay are in December. They’re also setting up a Megacharger network. Drive 4-8 hours, park for an hour, then a second leg. It’s becoming viable.
Edit: for accuracy, it looks like Tesla are not doing an entire megacharger network but rather installing them at client locations. In light of that, these trucks may remain more for regional hauling than cross-country. But if someone were to put chargers at truck stops, they’d work for both.

Given their market share, they might as well be.

Internal combustion engines are more likely to catch fire, not less.

Tesla is not only an automaker. They’re an energy and technology company who make cars. Comparing them to the likes of Ford is a mistake.

You’re living in a fantasy world. The Model Y is one of the best selling cars in the world. Bankruptcy is not going to happen. They will get a fine, and life will go on.
