Elon Musk Tesla Semi Truck Delivered to PepsiCo After 3 Years Delay, It's Tesla's First Heavy-Duty Semi-Trucks. It has three times the power of any diesel-powered truck.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk delivered the company's first heavy-duty Semi Truck to PepsiCo on Thursday without offering any updated forecasts for the cargo-hauling truck's pricing or production plans.
Musk, who appeared onstage at an event at Tesla's Nevada plant, said the battery-powered, long-haul truck would reduce highway emissions, outperform existing diesel models on power and safety and spin-off a fast-charging technology Tesla would use in its upcoming Cybertruck pickup.
Tesla did not announce pricing for the Semi at the Thursday event, provide details on variants of the truck it had initially projected or supply a forecast for deliveries to PepsiCo or other customers. Tesla said it would begin using the Semi to ship parts to its plant in Fremont, California.
