Tesla delivers first electric semi trucks

Elon Musk’s motor manufacturing company, Tesla, has delivered its first Tesla Semi trucks to customers at an event at the company’s Gigafactory in Sparks, Nevada.

Delivered on Thursday, the trucks were first unveiled in concept from back in 2017, and were supposed to go into production in 2019.

According to the company, the team could not deliver on it’s proposed date due to a variety of reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic and a global parts shortage.
