Tesla last week delivered its first heavy-duty electric Semi to PepsiCo. The flashy new truck, however, isn't very practical for most freight haulers under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint.

Why it matters:

After taking delivery, PepsiCo completed its first cargo run by delivering snacks from its Frito-Lay subsidiary to those attending Tesla's launch event in Nevada. The larger the battery, the less cargo the truck can carry. The heavier the cargo, the shorter the driving range. Less cargo and range usually means less profit.ClearFlame

I will not buy a Tesla product, bc ElonMusk uses American money and ingenuity to diminish American democracy. Another useless rich guy.

A flaming, long, slow, uphill climb.

FUD

Maybe because he fires anyone smarter

“bad-ass rig” I just can’t even with this DWEEB. 🤦🏻

It can haul about 3 tonnes🤣

sponsored by ClearFlame and in no way biased, which is not to say they can't do better than ice, but better than batteries while still using fossil fuels is bs, especially when you factor in that the common critique against tesla that it isn't sold yet, applies now to ClearFlame

A puff piece about Bill Gates' pipe dream disguised as an article about Tesla's semi. As fair and balanced a presentation as we've come to expect from Axios. 🐂💩🤡

and absurdly, musk claims he will produce 50,000 units in 2024! i guess a liar has to lie...

Lol did i read that write said truck of frito lays or pepsi would produce different results? At face value yes, but if the total weight was 81,000 lbs of Frito Lays vs. 81,000 lbs of pepsi, both equal 81,000 lbs lol weight is the same. what am i missing?

Weirdly biasedly written but the underlying basis is true

What a weird article. A sad piece of non-journalism

Oh no! You mean Musk over-promised and under-delivered again?! Say it ain't so! /s

Wild how divorced from reality that entire article is.

This author of this article is incredibly misinformed. The legal limit of a semi tractor truck fully loaded is 80000 lbs. The Tesla truck was fully loaded by Weight.

StanphylCap Just a stock pump, that failed

GabeHoff So gas power is the way to go, thanks.

elonmusk this’s true?

Sounds like axio has a hard on for all things bill gates. Stop putting this guy up on a pedestal. He got his start by stealing someone else's work not a guy you should be looking up to.

Are you freaking kidding me?
