Vaporware!
Daimler is starting production on an electric panel van. This is an actual in production truck: 10,000lb cargo capacity and 60 mile range.
Tesla is claiming 4-5times the range on a truck with a 50,000lb cargo capacity (typical for a semi tractor trailor with an 80,000lb road limit).
Also Tesla supposedly put all their patents out for public use, so no hidden magic technology. Heck, GM matched the Tesla car range in about a year with the bolt and got to production first, so there is no reason to believe that Daimler can't at least get within 10% on a truck.
When they claim a 300% advantage while carrying 5 times the cargo, no way it can be believed.
