Tesla Semi: bottlenecks before the final shoot

Tesla unveiled the Semi back in 2017. Within two years of having revealed the model, the company guided a start of production in 2019. However, the production was hit with many delays that compelled Musk to offer some commitment in the summer of 2020 by saying, “it’s time to bring Tesla Semi to volume production.” However, soon after Corona made its entry on the global platform and it carried some separate plans for the entire world.

Last summer, a report brought to notice certain progress that the company had made in the production of the heavy vehicle at its low-volume facility near Gigafactory Nevada. This was very soon followed by Tesla unveiling a small fleet of Tesla Semi electric trucks. However, the common battery supply constraints in this part of the manufacturing world ensured that the company announces shifting the launch of the car to 2022.

Given so many delays already in the making of this car, there had been a certain breach in confidence that Tesla would be able to stick to its recent commitment of delivering the first units of the vehicle in 2022. Musk’s tweet seems to offer some credence to the brand’s announcement last year. It has been speculated that Pepsico would be the first company to try the Semis on the roads, as is indicated by a 100 trucks order that the company made back in 2017 and last year.

The latest reports from foreign media also show that in June this year, the Tesla Model Y was already the world’s highest-selling electric car and Tesla’s best-selling model.

Data from foreign media shows that Tesla delivered 97,950 Model Y units to consumers around the world in June this year, far higher than other models in terms of electric vehicles. Second only to the Model Y is the Tesla Model 3, an electric car that began deliveries more than two years before the Model Y, with 53,768 deliveries in June.

Data from foreign media also shows that in June this year, a total of 913,500 electric vehicles, including plug-in hybrid vehicles, were delivered worldwide, and Tesla Model Y accounted for 10.7% of them. Counting the Model 3’s 5.9 percent, Tesla’s two best-selling electric vehicles have a 16.6 percent share.

With the steady increase in production capacity after the Berlin Gigafactory and the Texas Gigafactory are put into operation, coupled with the continuous increase in the capacity of the Shanghai Gigafactory, the production of Tesla Model Y will be higher in the future, and the delivery volume will also increase.
