It's also good marketing for Walmart. 15 trucks is nothing for the fleet of trucks that Walmart uses.

The cost of these trucks are so high, it'll take forever to make it cost effective to operate. Not to mention more industrial pollution due to battery production.

Nice move Tesla, but it'll take a long time before we start seeing mass electrification of trucks. Heck, we'll probably see driver automation before we see electric trucks.
