Kathmandu, December 2. Elon Musk owned private company Tesla Inc. on Thursday delivered its first batch of electric semi trucks to its first customer, PepsiCo.
During the launching event organized at the Tesla’s Gigafactory in Nevada, CEO Musk drove three of the “Tesla Semis” in front of the audience. The event was live streamed on Twitter.

According to media reports, a single unit of Tesla semi truck would be priced above $150,000 USD.
The Tesla Semi’s prototype was displayed for the first time in 2017. The company had announced that production would start in 2019. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and a global component scarcity caused the production to be delayed.
