Tesla Semi Fleet Grows As PepsiCo Takes Delivery Of Another 50 EV Trucks
EV giant Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) is delivering 50 more Semi-trucks to PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP), Semi Truck Engineering senior Manager Dan Priestly said.
半卡車工程高級經理丹·普里斯特利表示，電動汽車巨頭特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）將向百事可樂公司（納斯達克股票代碼：PEP）再交付50輛半卡車。
What Happened: Starting last week, Tesla has started delivering an additional 50 Semi trucks to PepsiCo at its Fresno, California facility, Priestly said at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo event in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Monday. The company is looking to build more trucks this year including for its own operations, deliveries to PepsiCo as well as for some other customers, he added.
發生了什麼：普里斯特利週一在內華達州拉斯維加斯舉行的先進清潔交通博覽會上表示，從上週開始，特斯拉已開始在其加利福尼亞州弗雷斯諾的工廠向百事可樂再交付50輛半掛卡車。他補充說，該公司計劃今年製造更多的卡車，包括用於自己的運營、向百事可樂以及其他一些客戶交付的卡車。
Tesla launched the semi-truck in 2017 and delivered a few to PepsiCo in December 2022. A PepsiCo spokesperson told Benzinga in January that the company has a total of 36 Tesla Semis deployed in its fleet, some of which are based out of Frito-Lay's Modesto facility in California. With 50 more, PepsiCo's fleet will expand to 86 Semis.
特斯拉於2017年推出了這輛半卡車，並於2022年12月向百事可樂交付了幾輛。百事可樂發言人在一月份告訴本辛加，該公司的車隊中共部署了36輛特斯拉半掛車，其中一些位於弗裏託-萊在加利福尼亞的莫德斯托工廠。再增加50架，百事可樂的機隊將擴大到86輛半掛車。
Why It Matters: The Tesla Semi is still in pilot production at Tesla's gigafactory in Nevada. The company is currently building a high-volume Semi factory at Giga Nevada with the first vehicles planned for late 2025. For external customers, vehicles will start rolling out in 2026, Tesla executive Lars Moravy confirmed at the company's first-quarter earnings call last month.
爲何重要：特斯拉半掛車仍在內華達州的特斯拉超級工廠試生產。該公司目前正在內華達州吉加建造一座大批量半導體工廠，第一批汽車計劃於2025年底交付。特斯拉高管拉斯·莫拉維在上個月的第一季度業績電話會議上證實，對於外部客戶，汽車將於2026年開始推出。
Talking about the delay in getting to production, Priestly said at the expo, "There's been some questions on timing but Tesla has a specialty and that is turning the impossible into merely late." The upcoming Semi factory will have an eventual target capacity of 50,000 units a year, he added.
在談到延遲投產時，普里斯特利在博覽會上說：“在時機方面存在一些疑問，但特斯拉有一個專長，這使不可能的事情變成了爲時已晚。”他補充說，即將建成的Semi工廠的最終目標年產能將達到50,000臺。
