The German invasion is coming when you talk about electric transportation. It's not if, but when. Daimler and VAG are big into commercial trucks.

It's good we punished VAG over and over again for polluting our air because we asked for them to electrify America because that's what we are getting. It's not going to stop either. In our area we are full of distribution centers. They get all of their loads from Newark and trucks drive the I-78 corridor 24/7. Not just to distribution centers but we take mot of NYC garbage too. No reason why those trucks can't be autonomous and electric. It's coming faster than you think.

Tesla is going to have some serious competition soon and that's exactly what they want. Competition builds a better breed. Hopefully autonomous and electric trucks will be delivering Elios from their plants in OH and LA to the marshaling centers. Then from there to the Elio stores.
