Tesla Begins Deliveries of Semi Electric Trucks to Initial Customers
Tesla has begun delivering its Semi electric trucks to initial customers, including PepsiCo and DHL, at its Nevada plant nearly nine years after the model's unveiling. Designed for long-haul freight, the Semi offers a long-range variant capable of 500 miles per charge and a standard variant with 325 miles. Tesla plans to produce 50,000 units annually, though production faced delays. CEO Elon Musk encouraged more orders via a video message, noting a significant waiting list.
