Pepsi, the first customer to use Tesla Semi, has commented on the deployment of the electric truck in its fleet and made some strange remarks about its range.
When Tesla started deliveries of the Tesla Semi earlier this month, its first customer to take delivery was PepsiCo.
Now the company is commenting on the integration of the electric truck in its fleet for the first time in a Reuters article based on an interview with PepsiCo Vice President Mike O’Connell, but the article glosses over some very strange comments about the Tesla Semi’s range.
O’Connell confirmed that PepsiCo is currently deploying 36 Tesla Semis: 15 in Modesto and 21 in Sacramento. The company expects to take delivery of the 100 Tesla Semi trucks it ordered by the end of 2023.
Where things got strange is when O’Connell, according to the article, talked about the range of the Tesla Semi:

PepsiCo’s new Semis can haul Frito-Lay food products for around 425 miles (684 km), but for heavier loads of sodas, the trucks will do shorter trips of around 100 miles (160 km), O’Connell said.

O’Connell reportedly stated that the company’s Tesla Semi trucks still have 20% charge after carrying loads of chips over 425 miles.
But it’s unclear why the trucks only do 100-mile trips with loads of sodas.
Tesla has clearly stated that the Tesla Semi can achieve a range of over 500 miles with a full load at 82,000 lbs.
We reported that, unfortunately, Tesla hasn’t released the weight of the truck, and therefore, we don’t know the actual load capacity of the Tesla Semi, but we know that it can travel 500 miles at full capacity.
It’s true that a trailer filled with chips is going to be lighter than a trailer filled with sodas, but at the end of the day, they are both limited to 82,000 lbs in an electric truck as per regulations. Therefore, Tesla Semi should be able to travel 500 miles with a trailer of sodas at capacity.

Tesla has clearly stated that the Tesla Semi can achieve a range of over 500 miles with a full load at 82,000 lbs.

The battery pack on an electric semi weighs 29,000 lbs, a diesel semi weighs between 10,000 to 20,000 lbs. The range of a fully loaded Volvo electric semi is also a 150 miles.

electric semi trucks just doesn't make sense. not with the current battery and charging technology.

from the way Pepsi was complaining, it feels like there may have been some false advertising on Tesla's part.

they could make sense in highly concentrated manufacturing areas. like certain parts in southern China

it's because you posted a fake quote.
The 100 mile for the heavy load was a initial test run, after testing they plan to go 500 mile on a full load.

This is what he actually said....

The Semis will haul Frito-Lay food products for around 425 miles (684 km), but for heavier loads of sodas, the trucks will initially do shorter trips of around 100 miles (160 km), O'Connell said. PepsiCo then will also use the Semis to haul beverages in the "400 to 500 mile range as well," O'Connell said. Exclusive: PepsiCo to roll out 100 Tesla Semis in 2023, exec says PepsiCo plans to roll out 100 heavy-duty Tesla Semis in 2023, when it will start using the electric trucks to make deliveries to customers like Walmart and Kroger, the soda maker's top fleet official told Reuters on Friday. www.reuters.com

they plan to go 500 mile on a full load.

They didn't say full load. the wording is still confusing, maybe they mean several times of charging the battery?

Even if they put enough battery capacity on the truck to get to around 400mi range for a full day worth of long haul driving, recharging would be an issue. Not to mention EVs aren't optimized for long distance highway driving. EVs are more efficient in stop and go driving

How dare you ask a PDF Chinese to read and UNDERSTAND his source?

internal transitions of a mega manufacturing plant would be the ideal use for EV trucks, making sodas is not sophisticated manufacturing, maybe that's why they think Tesla delivered a failed product.

shut up bub. or go back to Facebook..
