Tesla Semi receives important order of 100 electric trucks from PepsiCo
Tesla Semi keeps adding to its backlog of electric orders. After adding over
100 trucks last week, this week it receives 100 reservations from a single
company: PepsiCo.
Tesla Semi不斷累積訂單，繼上周增加了100輛訂單後，本周又收到100輛訂單，
而且是從單一一家公司：百事可樂
Mike O‘Connell, the senior director of North American supply chain for
PepsiCo subsidiary Frito-Lay, confirmed the order to Reuters today.
百事可樂子公司 Frito-Lay 北美供應鏈的高管Mike O‘Connell今天向路透社證實此訂單。
The executive says that the company, which operates over 10,000 trucks, is
currently analyzing what routes are best suited for Tesla’s electric trucks
in North America but he sees “a wide range of uses for lighter loads like
snacks or shorter shipments of heavier beverages.”
這位仁兄說公司有著超過一萬輛卡車，目前正在分析北美的路線哪裡最適合Semi
At the unveiling event last month, Tesla unveiled two electric truck options
with 300 and 500 miles of range.
After Tesla revealed the pricing of its electric semi trucks last month, we
learned that the regular production versions for the 300-mile and 500-mile
range versions will be $150,000 and $180,000 respectively, while the company
is also listing a ‘Founders Series’ version for $200,000.
上個月Tesla發佈了電動半卡車的價格，續航300miles與續航500miles的價格分別是
15萬美元與18萬美元，也有創始人版本，為20萬美元。
It means that PepsiCo’s order alone is worth between $15 million and $20
million.
Tesla first started taking reservations with a $5,000 deposit per truck, but
has changed the listed deposit price last month to $20,000 for a “base
reservation” of the production version and the full $200,000 for the “
Founders Series” truck.
O‘Connell didn’t confirm when they placed the order so we don’t know how
much they had to deposit.
The order follows Budweiser’s parent company placing a large 40-truck order
and another 50 electric trucks from Sysco last week.
心得/說明：
目前Semi的訂單確認的已超過300輛，有傳聞是說累積已經有1200輛的訂單
比較知名的訂單除了這新聞說的百事可樂之外，還有百威啤酒上周訂了40輛
DHL也有下訂單
這其實有點超出我的預期
因為Semi是要到2019年才會交車，加上Tesla一貫會延遲的風格
能在2020年看到Semi上路就算快的了
沒想到還這麼久的事情就已經有這麼多公司先下了訂單繳了訂金了
(一輛訂金似乎變成2萬鎂)
這跟一般人Model 3、買Roadster 2先付訂金的狀況有些不同
大部分的人都是連車還沒看到摸到，因為喜歡才付訂金慢慢等車，大多是感性大於理性
但這些公司都是很理性的為了實際上的利益才會下訂單
卻也這麼快就付錢排隊
雖說他們應該是都有實際體驗過Semi原型車了，跟一般人不同
不過還是讓人很意外現在就有這麼多訂單了
