Now that the Semi delivery event has been held, it was time for me to dig into my archives.πŸ˜‰

Here's a delivery of a full truckload of $TSLAQ tweets about the Tesla Semi.

It's quite amazing that the first Semis have now been delivered, considering the fact that it was always meant to be just a pump for the stock price. At least according to this automotive expert hereπŸ‘‡πŸ€‘

The scheme of the Semi was not just to pump up the stock price, but also to help Tesla to get a capital raise.🀑

And in addition to pumping up the stock price and securing capital raises, the goal of the Semi was also to get deposits from the customers.🀭

Here's more proof for you from the experts over at $TSLAQ:

What $TSLA short sellers love to do is use the "Fraud" word. Everything Tesla does is a fraud. And the folks not spotting the fraud and giving airtime to Tesla are the enablers of the fraud like Jay Leno here according to @TESLAcharts 🀑

Remember, the Semi is not the only fraudulent product from Tesla. Cybertruck has also been built so that the suckers can watch the photos of the fraudulent products. 🀑

Those silly cult members. Believing everything Tesla says. 🀑

Surprisingly, there are some short sellers who are now thrilled that Tesla decided to build the fake product. πŸ˜‰

Since the revealing of Tesla Semi in 2017, the short sellers have been arguing that Tesla doesn't have the money to build the vehicle. And also no space where to build it. A lot has changed since the reveal. Hasn't it @Commuternyc and @MyTsla? 🀭

The Semi had a lot of delays. Luckily for us, @TESLAcharts was always there to explain us the real meaning of Tesla's statements regarding the delays. 🀑

When Jerome Guillen left Tesla, that was actually a big loss and caused all kinds of speculations related to the future of the Semi. The short sellers like @patrickcomack were thrilled as it only meant the Semi was fake. 🀑

The many delays of the Semi meant that several competitors were able to bring their electric Semis to market before Tesla. Seeing these news articles, the short sellers were quick to tweet that competitors beat Tesla to the market. Here's an example from @ShortingIsFun 🀑

Unfortunately, $TSLAQ were not happy with news articles like these. They just loved to point out that Tesla Semi did not exist. It's just funny that the vehicle in the article didn't exist either if prototypes don't count. 🀭

What is also funny is that the Semi competitors were always legit and better than Tesla, but when Tesla Semi's specs were discussed, those were always impossible and pure lies. Here's @heikki_bear reminding how Daimler boss said the specs defied the laws of physics. 🀑

Here's Daimler's own @WPipperger sharing his expertise. 🀑

$TSLAQ #DumDums retweeted a lot the video from @thunderf00t, the long-time Tesla & Elon hater, where he tried to debunk those 'impossible' specs.🀑

Here's again @BradMunchen, @MyTsla and @KawasakiKR11.🀑

Fake specs or not, according to Tesla short sellers, it didn't matter as the truck would not have demand anyways. No customer would approve the delivery of the Semi due to terrible quality.🀑

... or by being not commecially viable🀑

... or because of not accepting "fraud" as innovation. πŸ˜„

I can't remember if Tesla ever released the reservation numbers, but there were lots of news articles about companies making reservations for the Semi. The short sellers were counting these and reached the conclusion that there were not a lot of orders. 🀑

According to $TSLAQ dictionary, the word "vaporware" means the product Tesla has revealed but not mass produced yet. Here's @agusnox with an example how to use it. 🀑

Seems I reached the limit of how many tweets I can have in this thread. I'll continue on this tomorrow with a new set of $TSLAQ's Semi tweets by replying to this thread. See you then! 😎

Dumping some more Semi tweets from the lovely $TSLA short sellers. Skipping the commentary for now. Enjoy. 🀭

Ok and here's the final batch of Semi tweets. And I'll start with one of the best ones. Take a look at this gem from @PolitiReality πŸ˜„

@PolitiReality And what about this one?πŸ˜„ Several $TSLAQ #DumDums complained about Semi's fast 0-60 time. It doesn't necessarily mean that kids are using Semis in drag races.πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

@PolitiReality That concludes the Semi special. I hope you enjoyed it. I will definitely cover $TSLAQ's thoughts on the Semi in detail in the $TSLAQ book I'm working on. If you'd like to support my work and the book project, please check out my Patreon page. πŸ™‚
