The first deliveries of the Tesla Semi are out the door, say the developers. For the whole world.

 The program's developers are reflecting on the past five years as the vehicle has finally reached the end stage of its initial production run. The Tesla Semi was delayed several times. Initial delivery projections from the company have been put off due to a variety of reasons, from supply chain bottlenecks to a commitment to not move the company's product roadmap forward this year.

The first units went to Frito Lay last night. It has been five years since the Semi was unveiled, but it may have made the destination a little sweeter. 5 years of 16 hours days, overnighters, packed weekends, nonstop push, with a singular focus on to this point is what Staff Systems Design and Architecture Engineer for the Semi Satyan Chandra said. Chandra has held three different positions at the company. He was a Sr when the vehicle was announced. There is a Hardware Design Engineer for the Model S, Model X, and Model 3.

He was a Hardware Technology Engineer and helped develop Dojo. Chandra is managing and leading systems design, integration, and architecture programs for the Semi. The long road was worth it for him. Our Semi is leaving the door. To the world. For the world. For some, the product was more important than the journey. The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer for Cells is Roger Casado. The work he did with the Semi was more about why. Casado said that the Semi's extensive market application will help it attack 36 percent of U. S. Particle emissions from vehicles.

 The ability to drive as easily as the Model 3, the power, speed, and Torque, and the fact that it is easy to operate make it an advantage over its competitors. It drove on a single charge and had 500 miles of range. We discussed yesterday if the Semi would live up to the hype. It will have to prove its advantages over competing options in its initial application. In addition, the company has displayed its speed and acceleration on its test track, as well as in other recent examples. The vehicle's success may depend on the number of clients it attracts, but is there really any reason for it to fail at first glance?
