J. Clarke was heard to mutter:
For certain very small values of "droves".

I am surprised they have so many orders for these trucks already.
I would have expected them to be considerably smaller numbers given
Tesla has been behind on other vehicles.

And they have yet to deliver one.

Because they need to be built?
This really isn't an instant gratification world.

It's easy to talk the talk. Until they actually start delivering
these trucks we don't know that they can walk the walk.

As for "so many orders", the truck-stop chain that was mentioned
earlier owns more trucks themselves to deliver gas than Tesla's
to-date total truck sales. They're selling small quantities to
companies that have deep pockets and are willing to try it out. Those
sales may lead to more sales or may not depending on how they work out
in the real world.
