The autonomous nature of Tesla vehicles has long been talked about, and for many it's a controversial topic from a safety perspective. However, that doesn't scare Musk one bit. The Tesla founder believes that autonomous vehicles are the future, and he has also shown recently that developments at his company are progressing in the right direction.
Tesla introduced their first electric truck, the Semi, to the public back in November of 2017. So it took them about 5 years when this "dream" became a reality and today we see the delivery of the first models. Among the first customers to see the exceptional vehicle is Pepsi. Tesla's visionary and also CEO Elon Musk has most recently announced that Tesla has begun deliveries of the Semi electric truck. The company has started manufacturing the trucks in Nevada, USA and Musk duly announced its success on the social networking site Twitter.
The start of Semi truck deliveries was announced on stage at the company's factory in Sparks, Nevada, where Musk took the stage alongside Dan Priestly, the company's lead manager for Semi truck design. And how is Tesla stock reacting to the news? We could note that they rose 0.6% to 195.86 points during market trading on Thursday.*
