Tesla's Germany factory is going to have a train service that will transport its workers for free, which cool, train good. But a number of the usual suspects (Teslarati and other Tesla/Elon loving media) are claiming that Tesla are launching the train as if it had built the train. In some cases adding its "mind-blowing" capacity (its the same as a regular train).
Here's the kicker: Tesla only slapped its name on a train built by Seimens, using batteries manufactured by Toshiba
Yeah, I thought all rail in Germany was electric, but apparently the line that services this region and that this some is a part of runs on diesel trains. And as if right now their plan is to go with battery powered trains to transition away from diesel.
I think electrifying the line would be cheaper and safer.
