with a $5,000 deposit per truck, which is not expected to hit the market until 2019
so this means it will hit the market in 2021 and will most likely not meet the expected design specs...par for the course.

The subsidies were there for anyone to take, Tesla took them. Not to mention they're not the only car company taking subsidies.

What kind of government rebate can I get on a new Jeep?

Nikola motors will beat them to market with a much longer range, bigger truck

I referring to the government giving citizens huge rebates to buy a luxury car. Basically funneling money directly to the companies.
My point is that it shouldn't be done, period. Your contention is that everyone is welfare babies so it is fine.

Just what we need, truckers catapulting to 60 in 5 seconds. What can go wrong? How long for it to stop? I mean, awesome if this is true, but zero reason something that heavy should be that fast, considering who is driving them a lot of times. Hopefully they'd restrict them.

Your argument for them being a company that takes a absurdly high amount of direct and indirect subsidies when compared to their overall bottom line is... "Everyone takes subsidies"

10-15 years tops self driving trucks will be common.

20 seconds with a load.
So they would be faster than Beetles, Yugos and ElDorados but not much else.

This isn't a truck that needs to worry about running out of battery before the driver runs out of energy/time. It isn't a long haul solution.
I personally like the idea of TSLA doing this truck. Slap a back on it like a local delivery truck and it is an incredible solution. Imagine a fleet of FedEx type trucks. Granted I don't know if the weight is critical when talking about local roads.
Also, it accelerates quickly, I'm assuming the top speed is sufficient as well.
