“This is a breach of contract action arising from years of gross negligence and failure to live up to industry standards by Tesla with respect to solar panels that Tesla designed, installed, and promised to operate and maintain safely on the roofs of hundreds of Walmart stores,”
Tesla seems to be the operator and maintainer. I would expect a contract has maintenance as a flat fee per year if it is anything like other contracts of this type.

Probably in jeopardy because the trucks don't exist, and Tesla's capex is below its depreciation so they're unlikely to build out the plant necessary to manufacture them anytime soon.

As alleged by Walmart.
Failure due to rushed, shoddy work is definitely Tesla's M.O., but Walmart is also not exactly the most credible source, given their history.
