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 Toshibadata-laughing

      Read the figure that 38% of rails worldwide are electrified or something. Surely some can double stack?
