How many semis has Tesla sold?
Since the 2017 concept truck and the 2022 production run, there are an estimated 140 Tesla Semis operating in the US only. The first delivery was to PepsiCo on December 1, 2022, turned over from Gigafactory Nevada. Since then, there are no reports of Semis being produced or delivered. One of the biggest customers for the Tesla Semi is PepsiCo. The company made initial payments for 100 units in 2017, but as of early April, the snack and beverage maker had received 36 Semis, according to a spokesperson quoted by Reuters. That’s the same number of Semis as in March 2023.
Are Tesla semis safe?
Drivers of Tesla semis may be less likely to experience driver fatigue and related crashes simply due to the deficiency of Megachargers available to allow for long hauls. In the short-term, Tesla semis will, for the most part, likely be restricted to trips that do not extend beyond the 400-500 range of the battery. With less than 2 kWh per mile of energy consumption, Semi can travel up to 500 miles on a single charge. Recover up to 70 percent of range in 30 minutes using Tesla’s Semi Chargers.
