Tesla’s electric Semi truck is finally going global, with production set to ramp up significantly. This comes after third-party tests validated the truck’s impressive 500-mile range, despite initial skepticism. Meanwhile, Tesla faces scrutiny following a recent crash and is working with logistics companies like NFI Industries and PepsiCo to integrate the Semi into their fleets.
Third-party logistics provider NFI Industries is testing Tesla’s Semi trucks in its daily operations, following in the footsteps of PepsiCo. NFI is using the trucks for routes between 250 and 450 miles, highlighting the truck’s efficiency. This pilot program comes as Tesla ramps up production of the Semi, with plans to start mass production in late 2025 and deliver vehicles to external customers in 2026.
