"Tesla's Semi: Promises vs Reality"
Tesla's long-delayed electric Semi truck has only been delivered to one publicly identified customer, despite hopes of producing at least 50,000 of them annually by next year. The company has excluded the model from its last two quarterly production reports and hasn't even registered for California's generous incentives for battery-powered semis. The market for battery- and hydrogen trucks is growing, but Tesla is behind its competitors in the nascent field. Convincing fleet owners to switch from dominant suppliers like Peterbilt, Volvo, Daimler, and Freightliner that have their own green trucks is another challenge for Tesla and newcomers like Nikola.
