On October 7, Musk tweeted that he will begin delivering the first mass-produced Semi trucks to PepsiCo starting from December 1!
Let’s take a look back. The Semi truck was first introduced by Musk in 2017, and he announced that it would begin production in 2019.
However, due to the impact of the supply chain components, Musk postponed the production time of the Semi truck several times.
In fact, foreign media reported last year that Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada was building a production line for Semi trucks. Now, we finally know the exact timeline.
Why is PepsiCo the first customer to receive the initial batch of trucks?
Because after the release of the Semi truck in 2017, PepsiCo became one of the largest and earliest customers of the Semi truck and immediately ordered 100 vehicles.
And it is estimated that PepsiCo will receive 15 Semi trucks this year.
