The much anticipated Semi commercial truck will finally be delivered, according to a tweet from Tesla CEO [**Elon Musk**](https://www.mindstick.com/Category/news/website-mobile-applications). He declared that the commencement of [manufacturing](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/167329/improving-productivity-within-the-manufacturing-industry) 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](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/114579/sustainability-is-survivability) [initiatives](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85235/global-efforts-to-combat-climate-change-updates-and-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](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12905/fynsis-announce-suitecrm-customer-portal-independent-client-service-platform) motors and be capable of 500 miles of range on a single charge. Originally announced in 2017, [**Tesla's**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1641/tesla-impeded-the-plan-to-restore-shanghai-plant) 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](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/65309/importance-of-ux-design-in-the-development-of-mobile-apps) for for [five years](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39990/which-is-the-highest-body-that-approves-five-years-plans-in-the-country) now, and everyone is crossing their hopes that there won't be any more [supply chain](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23184/how-blockchain-is-helping-supply-chain-management) 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](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/158206/how-do-operating-systems-prevent-one-program-from-accessing-the-memory-of-another-program) 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.** --- Original Source: https://www.mindstick.com/news/2111/pepsico-confirms-that-the-first-deliveries-will-begin-in-december-as-tesla-produces-ev-trucks Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
