The number of vehicles being delivered is unknown, but PepsiCo said it will initially use them at its Frito-Lay plant in Modesto, California, and PepsiCo beverages plant in Sacramento, California.
Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm recently said the automaker could build as many as 100 Semis before the end of 2022, but the long-term goal is much higher than that. "As I think everyone knows at this point, it takes about a year to ramp up production. So, we expect to see significant -- we're tentatively aiming for 50,000 units in 2024 for Tesla Semi in North America,""And obviously, we'll expand beyond North America. And these would sell -- I don't want to say the exact prices, but they're much more than a passenger vehicle."Musk said he would be present at the delivery event.
The Semi was previously listed on Tesla's website at $180,000 for a version that could go 500 miles per charge, but the pricing information has since been removed and PepsiCo has not said how much it is paying for the vehicles. A number of incentives are available for the purchase of commercial electric trucks, including a federal tax credit included in the Inflation Reduction Act that is worth 30% of the purchase price up to $40,000.
The Semi is a Class 8 truck and federal regulations allow it to operate at a maximum weight of 82,000 pounds.
How to turn a positive into a negative. Tall poppy syndrome at its best. Shame on you Fox.
Lol they can't carry the loads they claim, they will get a fraction of the mileage they claim once they are carrying full loads.
Like I said ... If you don't have the time to do it right the first time, when will you find the time to do it again. Still don't understand where the energy or infrastructure to run electric vehicles will come from. Need a NEW alternative ....
'three years late'? Really? This is an historic game changing event...and you're so eager to attack Elon that you need to stress the negative?
good things take time
Fox News is no different than the rest of them, against free speech attempting to drag elonmusk whenever they can. They’re a facade to make conservatives feel as though they have a favorable media outlet.
