One has to imagine the build, test, release iteration cycle for consumer-grade transportation is quicker than commercial trucking. Most trucks have an expected life of 30-40yrs vs 3-10yrs for passenger vehicles (yes, the used auto market exists but luxury buyers always buy the new model). Electrification is a major component in any fleet-based strategy going forward, and that’s going to happen quicker on passenger vehicle platforms than commercial trucks as well. Also, the potential damage and liability differential between a 90,000lb freight truck and a 4000lb passenger vehicle has to factor in, too. All collisions and fatalities are unfortunate, but better to limit the liability early on in the scaling phase and come back to commercial trucking later once the company and tech are further along.
