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.
半卡车工程高级经理丹·普里斯特利表示，电动汽车巨头特斯拉公司（纳斯达克股票代码：TSLA）将向百事可乐公司（纳斯达克股票代码：PEP）再交付50辆半卡车。
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.
发生了什么：普里斯特利周一在内华达州拉斯维加斯举行的先进清洁交通博览会上表示，从上周开始，特斯拉已开始在其加利福尼亚州弗雷斯诺的工厂向百事可乐再交付50辆半挂卡车。他补充说，该公司计划今年制造更多的卡车，包括用于自己的运营、向百事可乐以及其他一些客户交付的卡车。
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.
特斯拉于2017年推出了这辆半卡车，并于2022年12月向百事可乐交付了几辆。百事可乐发言人在一月份告诉本辛加，该公司的车队中共部署了36辆特斯拉半挂车，其中一些位于弗里托-莱在加利福尼亚的莫德斯托工厂。再增加50架，百事可乐的机队将扩大到86辆半挂车。
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.
为何重要：特斯拉半挂车仍在内华达州的特斯拉超级工厂试生产。该公司目前正在内华达州吉加建造一座大批量半导体工厂，第一批汽车计划于2025年底交付。特斯拉高管拉斯·莫拉维在上个月的第一季度财报电话会议上证实，对于外部客户，汽车将于2026年开始推出。
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.
在谈到延迟投产时，普里斯特利在博览会上说：“在时机方面存在一些疑问，但特斯拉有一个专长，这使不可能的事情变成了为时已晚。”他补充说，即将建成的Semi工厂的最终目标年产能将达到50,000台。
