Tesla Delays Semi Deliveries Until 2021

There will be no Tesla Semi this year.

The automaker said Wednesday in its Q1 update that deliveries of its highly-anticipated all-electric semi will be pushed to 2021. When the vehicle was debuted in 2017, Tesla expected to deliver the Semi in 2019, then pushed to 2020, now to 2021.

Tesla has reportedly secured thousands of orders for the Semi. Many companies with giant fleets of heavy-duty trucks are waiting on delivery, including Walmart, UPS, PepsiCo, FedEx, and Anheuser-Busch, among others. .

The Semi is expected to have a range of 300-500 miles per charge, which is impressive for a vehicle that can pull 80,000 pounds. 

Tesla also hasn’t announced where it plans to build the Semi.
