It's taken a while, but Tesla has finally delivered its first all-electric Semitruck at a special event at its Gigafactory in Nevada on Thursday night.
Tesla Semi Delivery Event He’s a busy man, Elon Musk. Fresh from causing chaos at his newly acquired Twitter outfit, and just hours after offering an update on his neuroscience Neuralink venture, the billionaire entrepreneur drove Tesla’s first Semi production vehicle to a delivery event at the automaker’s Nevada Gigafactory on Thursday night.
Initial customer Pepsi has ordered 100 Tesla Semis, with more firms expected to receive the vehicle once production ramps up. Tesla chief Musk has said previously that he expects to see as many as 50,000 Semis rolling off the line in 2024. The best driver experience: max road visibility, space to stand up, 2x 15-inch touch screens, wireless phone charging & more pic.twitter.com/ktrh602Krd Tesla engineers tested Semi in a variety of harsh conditions to maximize reliability & durability pic.twitter.com/qjctWZSWvQ Semi has a tri-motor system & carbon-sleeved rotors just like Plaid. 1 unit for efficiency, 2 acceleration units for torque pic.twitter.
“Charging with electricity is approximately 2.5 times cheaper per mile than refueling with diesel [based on average diesel prices in California in the first half of 2022],” Tesla says on its website. “Operators can see estimated fuel savings of up to $200,000 within their first three years of ownership.”
