I reserved a Tesla Semi

[zackstump]

This man really said “fine, I’ll do it myself “

[windsorr]

“… that’s why we’re called edison” fucking gold

Edison Motors is genuinely the best name you could've picked. It's chef's-kiss levels of perfection.

[Diriector_Doc]

I don't drive semi. I don't drive Tesla. I love this because of the name of your company. Calling it Edison is absolutely gold.

The old-fashioned body style for an electric truck is gorgeous, and it pairs perfectly with the name! Genius.

If you have an electric truck that looks like a classic, you will be an American legend

Dude is a genius and didn’t even know it, he just needed empty promises to motivate him.

My dad ordered a 1966 Ford Mustang GT Fastback with gold paint and a "Pony" interior. He paid a $100 deposit. It's been nearly 60 years, and he's still waiting.

As German i cried in joy seeing a Guy not just Electrifying his Cars but using old chasis and just switching out all the gas and going eletric. This is super smart. Use what we have, upgrade it to the future, everyone is happy. I wish you best of luck bro.

I really hope you get up and running to a point where everyone who had reserved a Tesla Semi cancels their reservation so they can buy your truck.

Edit: What is it with people that have this idea that I think Edison motors is going to become a major manufacturer over night? He will eventually reach a point where his company has actually gone into production, and I'll bet money that Tesla will still be working on trying to fill out 5+ year old reservations for their semi trucks by the time Edison Motors has officially gone into production. That's if Tesla is even still making their truck. Real chance that Tesla will abandon the truck, and a lot of reservations will never be filled. Or they will come out with a new "improved" version, and once again make a lot of claims that end up not being true. 10 years down the road though, Edison Motors could end up taking business from Tesla.

Also, a lot of you Tesla fanboys need to realize. Tesla is a multi-BILLION dollar company with thousands of workers. Hundreds of people who work together to create a car/truck. You're an idiot if you think the small team at Edison Motors should be comparable to Tesla when it comes to how quick it is for something to be made. Tesla can literally throw 100 million at R&D and make something completely new in a few years. Edison Motors can't do that, they don't have that kind of money, or nearly as many people. So long as he keeps with quality/functionality over making a buck though, he'll end up releasing a truck that actually performs as advertised, and is actually dependable. He won't have to pay critics/car reviewers to give/make good reviews.

Joker "Wayne Tech said you were supposed to deliver the truck 2 years ago, Where's the damn car Bruce?" You are living that episode and I love it.

[chucksblacksmithing]

The more I listen to this Guy the more I love him. I love where he got the name from lol.

[vintagetitanic]

As a history nerd, I applaud the use of naming your company after Edison stealing from Tesla. Epic naming!

[有]

Edison Motors is the perfect name, truly genius. Excited to see your truck hit the road!

[srs]

I was today years old when I figured out the subtleties of the name Edison Motors

[mikechiu]

"That's why we call it Edison Motors; stealing Tesla's idea" Man, that burn drives bone deep.

[SirRobinson]

This man is an example of making it happen, all respect. And I’d love to buy an electric truck from you guys

[Anthony-hk]

Bro i forgot that tesla semi even existed

I never had so many likes 😁

[ShadowDragon]

you can omit the genset, and put in extra batteries without any modifications. its a full electric truck, with its own onboard dc fast charger

[scarecrow]

Im always gonna be a traditional combustion engine kinda guy, but i absolutely love stories like yours man. Spite is one of the best motivational things on this planet, and that company name is genius. Good luck brother!
