The much-anticipated Tesla Semi has officially entered production, albeit several years later than expected, according to a surprise tweet from Elon Musk. The much anticipated Semi commercial truck will finally be delivered, according to a tweet from Tesla CEO Elon Musk. He declared that the commencement of manufacturing had been made and that PepsiCo would get its first shipments on December 1. The Californian operations in Sacramento and Modesto will be supported by a fleet of battery-powered heavy rigs, according to a statement made by PepsiCo.

According to Andrea Foote, a spokesman for PepsiCo, the company's sustainability initiatives, 'we are looking forward to this next stage in our PepsiCo Positive journey and will offer additional specifics after we have taken delivery.' The all-electric semitrailer truck will have three independent motors and be capable of 500 miles of range on a single charge.

Originally announced in 2017, Tesla's electric Class 8 freight trucks are expected to debut in 2019. Preorders came pouring in at the time from well-known companies including Anheuser-Busch, Walmart, and PepsiCo, which reserved 100 trucks. By the end of this year, the manufacturer of food and beverages hopes to deploy 15 cars.

The Semi has been in development for for five years now, and everyone is crossing their hopes that there won't be any more supply chain issues until it is released. The debut was apparently delayed as a result of Tesla's announcement that it will prioritise producing its Model 3 and Model Y EVs. That didn't prevent one drone operator from seeing the vehicle during a flyby at the automaker's facility in Fremont, California, though.

In typical Tesla flair, the firm describes the Semi as 'the safest, most comfortable vehicle ever.' The CEO, who enjoys using Twitter, claims that driving is 'very enjoyable.' At this point, we anticipate that the majority of businesses will be content to simply have functioning power exchanges that, you know, really arrive.
