Tesla’s<\/strong> undisputed leadership in electric vehicles expands to all areas after a new announcement by Elon Musk<\/strong> that caused a stir on social networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tycoon reported that Tesla<\/strong> started production of its Semi truck<\/strong> and plans to deliver it to Pepsi <\/strong>starting December 1. The beverage company ordered 100 of the electric transport vehicles in December 2017, just a month after its announcement, and confirmed to Reuters that it intends to use them in California when it receives them later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that the manufacturer pressed the accelerator on the production of this prototype, since prior to 2022, news about the Semi <\/strong>was relatively scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May, Tesla <\/strong>began accepting reservations and collecting a $20,000 deposit, and in August, Musk said the 500-mile range version of the SUV would begin shipping this year. Reservations closed in August. According to Reuters<\/strong>, companies such as UPS <\/strong>and Sysco <\/strong>have also reserved these models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
