Volvo has delivered trucks. Here's one charging up: https://www.youtube.com/watc...

I'm not saying the trucks don't physically exist, just that I can't find evidence of deliveries to customers.

Your approach to evidence here seems very lacking.

- The first one we don't know if it's a customer. Why couldn't it be a prototype? Some guy just saw it charging?

- The second one isn't a semi truck.

- The third one seems to be footage of people sitting in a demo truck of some kind from a PR event about opening a charging station with a pledge to buy some in the future.

Hardly seems like a slam dunk case that other people are all over this market.

You really need to stop allowing yourself to be brainwashed to this extent by Tesla advertising. It's not doing you any good.

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/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-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.

ugh we are talking about SEMI TRUCKS

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.

Dude, you plainly didn't watch the first video where the name of the company operating the truck is WRITTEN ON IT. Your lazy response to that one was: "The first one we don't know if it's a customer."

Try watching them start to finish.

In the meantime, Volvo will get on with building and delivering BEV trucks and buses. Try not to worry so much that these practical realities invalidate your faulty preconceptions.
