Tesla begins Semi-truck deliveries with a large order backlog, compares fuel economy with diesel trucks

Tesla (TSLA) has begun volume production and deliveries of its Semi-truck, with a reported 2,500-unit order from a venture backed by Microsoft and PepsiCo. Production was delayed due to factory construction, battery tech improvements, and Megacharger development. Tesla claims its Semi costs half per mile to operate compared to diesel trucks, with prices starting at $260,000.
