About a week ago, Elon Musk hosted an\u00a0event<\/a>\u00a0where he delivered the first of his Tesla semis to Pepsi. About four years earlier, he hosted an\u00a0event<\/a>\u00a0where he introduced the semi along with a lot of inflated claims such as that convoys of them (each with their 18 squishy tires) are going to beat rail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He started taking deposits with a promise of delivery in two years. There\u2019s tons of YouTube video channels (both pro and con) covering the semi. On the pro side, one that I watch quite a bit is\u00a0Now You Know<\/a><\/em>\u00a0hosted by a couple of hard core Tesla fanboys named Jesse and Zac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s very well produced and has 324 thousand subscribers. They have extensive coverage of all happenings in the world of electric vehicles and they do lots of interviews with green energy type entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They usually start their show with personal endorsements of granola cruncher type product sponsors. They have lots of audience participation features such as pictures and videos of customized Teslas and new charging stations. They are almost cult like in their adoration of Elon Musk and even regularly parse his latest tweets. They\u2019ve put down their deposit and are on the list to get a Tesla semi. They are understandably\u00a0stoked<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
