They assemble tractors with a functional trailer attached?
What am I missing?

Yes, that is a doctored image. From the reflection on the side of the truck and trailer, you can tell they took the pick from a truck driving down the road and does not show the glare of the lights up above. They definitely would not have a trailer hooked up on the assembly line(I have been to several semi-truck assembly lines in my career). The lights of the truck would not be on while on the assembly line. The brakes and calipers are NOT from a class-8 semi-truck. You can tell buy what looks like Isuzu or UD cabovers chassis on the automated vehicle dollies in the back ground that it is a plant for these vehicles and not a Tesla plant.

It is stiff like this, which I mentioned in the Lightning truck thread, is part of the reason why it is so hard to take hard core EV'ers seriously. Anyone who looks at the image for more than 30 seconds can tell it is fake. 8.1 Van, if you want anyone to take you seriously or want to pull more people to your cause, then I would recommend doing a better job of vetting this kind of fake news.
