Wild, someone should tell Freightliner, Kennworth and Peterbilt.

Freightliner has 5x as many on the road in California as Tesla
Kennworth and Peterbilt combined are close to Tesla.

Issue hasn't been demand it's been incentives which Tesla gobbled up to make this production feasible.

James Cameron: …I want more of these gorgeous mechanical beasts. I want to show that chrome gleam, show every hard inch of that chassis, valves pumping like heated breath as servos and pistons throb…

SfX: Got it, maybe we do two T-800’s?

JC: What? No, call Peterbilt and Freightliner

Manufacturing of Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, and Mack Trucks is highly dependent on a global supply chain, drawing heavily on foreign-sourced parts and materials.

In fact, most everything for 18 wheelers is owned by PACCAR (technically a holding co. that owns not just Peterbilt & Kenworth but DAF & Leyland, which are big brands in EU and UK respectively), Daimler (Freightliner, Fuso, Mack, Western Star), VW (Navistar/International), or Volvo (Mack)

The majority of my career has been in a 13-speed Peterbilt with a CAT engine, but I've also driven Kenworth, Volvo, International, Freightliner, and Mac, as well as Blue Bird, and Thomas school buses

BREAKING
#Trump issues stmt saying he'll impose #tariffs effective Oct. 1:
• 25% on heavy trucks
• 50% on kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities & associated products
• 100% on branded / patented pharma products, "unless a Company IS BUILDING their ... Manufacturing Plant in America"

#Economy #Tariff
Trump stmt: "In order to protect our Great Heavy Truck Manufacturers from unfair outside competition, I will be imposing, as of October 1st, 2025, a 25% Tariff on all 'Heavy (Big!) Trucks' made in other parts of the World. Therefore, our Great Large Truck Company Manufacturers, such as Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Mack Trucks, and others, will be protected from the onslaught of outside interruptions. We need our Truckers to be financially healthy and strong, for many reasons, but above all else, for National Security purposes!" Trump stmt: "We will be imposing a 50% Tariff on all Kitchen Cabinets, Bathroom Vanities, and associated products, starting October 1st, 2025. Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture. The reason for this is the large scale 'FLOODING' of these products into the United States by other outside Countries. It is a very unfair practice, but we must protect, for National Security and other reasons, our Manufacturing process. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump stmt: "Starting October 1st, 2025, we will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any branded or patented Pharmaceutical Product, unless a Company IS BUILDING their Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Plant in America. 'IS BUILDING' will be defined as, “breaking ground” and/or 'under construction.' There will, therefore, be no Tariff on these Pharmaceutical Products if construction has started. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
