Hmm - yeah, adding a question mark to a statement doesn’t make it a question; it makes it the wrong punctuation.
Alas, I can’t recall the specifics from the rumors and speculation at this point (on pretty much anything going on on the planet nowadays), but I’d imagine there’s some sort of contract between Tesla and PepsiCo related to how many trucks by a certain date. The ‘guinea pig’ for the product isn’t going to want to play too loose or too fast; they’re still conventional at heart so a risk like the Semi has to have some parameters to make them a bit more comfortable from a business standpoint.
Given the delay of the Semi, for various reasons (battery supply, more important fish to fry at any given moment, Jerome’s departure and a host of things we don’t know about), I’d imagine we’re cutting deadlines close, but all I could find was that Pepsi ordered 100 originally and that they announced in October that they’d begin to receive them in December. I could not find any mention by Pepsi that all 100 would be delivered before year end.
