There has been quite a long wait for the Tesla Semis. After a long wait, Tesla finally handed over battery-electric Class 8 tractors to PepsiCo. The vehicle was unveiled more than five years ago. This marked the start of the deliveries to customers. Tesla and its CEO Elon Musk celebrated what they had done so far. They also shared information on both the design and what the tractors would be able to do. Musk insisted on how the trucks would be a game changer. He said that they would help reduce emissions. It's all a part of the campaign to go green.

Why the Tesla Semis?

According to Transport Topics, Elon Musk said the Tesla Semis are the real deal. He said they would help fight air pollution, the trucks would be very safe to use, and the tractors would be appealing to drivers. Musk noted that these tractors are just a small part of their offer.

PepsiCo had confirmed its plan to deploy the first Tesla Semis at the Frito-Lay plant in Modesto and its beverages plant in Sacramento. Musk noted that the Tesla Semis had taken a long since the launch back in 2017. He said that a lot had happened since then. Other manufacturers have already rolled out their battery-electric trucks. Currently, they are just working closely with their customers for support.

How is The Tesla Semi?

Tesla Semi is a one-of-a-kind model. It has a unique design and an extended range compared to typical battery-electric trucks. The Tesla Semi can go 500 miles on a single charge while pulling a fully loaded trailer. The Tesla Semi will be efficient for freight movement. It is also a truck that will attract drivers. Unlike other trucks, the design is that of a bullet train with a seat in the middle. The central position is to help with the driver's view.

The Tesla Semi is big on innovation. Musk said that the existing equipment would come in handy in saving on production costs. The truck is built to increase efficiency and safety. It also has regenerative braking to save on energy. The company confirmed that several tests had been conducted on the durability of these trucks. Tesla announced it would also use its tractors in its supply chain. Tesla is here to help change the game for trucking. It will be helpful as truckers work their way to electrification.
