0n Tuesday, Amazon.Com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) revealed the first of twelve Volvo electric big rigs it intends to operate this year, starting at Southern California’s bustling Los Angeles/Long Beach port complex.
The e-commerce giant is already using eight of these semi trucks at the port, where regulations require all drayage trucks to have zero emissions by 2035.
Below I highlighted two contradicting quotes from the article on this topic. The first quote states that truck drivers had to be trained on the unique central seating position of the Tesla truck. Really? Imagine telling a truck driver who's been driving trucks for a living for many years, that they have to be trained to drive an EV truck. Drivers of Nikola's trucks don't have to be trained to drive the trucks. This is because Nikola designed the truck with input from truck drivers.
The second quote makes no sense to me, and does not sound truthful.
Five MB drivers were trained on the unique central seating position and advanced features of the Tesla Semi, which aim to enhance driver visibility and safety.
"The Tesla Semi rises above any other tractor with mobility, center seat configuration, and precise movement that allows the driver to navigate safely," driver Casey Kamp raved.
