Tesla CEO Elon Musk's Electric Semi-Trucks to Hit the Roads

Pepsi has confirmed that it will start using Tesla electric semi-trucks to make product deliveries in December 2022.  The snack and beverage giant will start receiving the 100 Tesla semi-trucks that it ordered on December 1, 2022. The electric, zero-emissions semi-trucks are one of CEO Elon Musk's favorite projects because of their positive impact on the environment. But they've been a long time coming because of supply shortages and production delays.  Pepsi will be the first buyer of the zero-emissions semi to take delivery.  They will start going into operation at Pepsi's California Frito-Lay and beverage plants and then be fanned out to other locations. Pepsi's goals are to cut its carbon emissions and to reduce fuel costs. It is an important start to the process of reducing carbon emissions from the millions of Big-Rig diesel vehicles on highways around the world. 

Musk's Green Trucks

Tesla CEO Elon Musk first unveiled his concept for an all-electric, battery powered, Class 8 semi-truck propelled by electric motors with 1,000 hp in 2017.  Now it is in production with a price tag of $180,000 but in the United States it may qualify for a $40,000 tax break.  The EVs have a 300-to-500-mile range on a charge depending on the truck model and battery size.  According to Musk, they are "super fun to drive".  A number of other big companies like UPS, food service distributor Sysco and Walmart Canada have also ordered Tesla's emissions-free semi's.  For more news stories like this, Latest Innovations For Tomorrow
