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不断累积订单，继上周增加了100辆订单后，本周又收到100辆订单，
而且是从单一一家公司：百事可乐
Mike O‘Connell, the senior director of North American supply chain for
PepsiCo subsidiary Frito-Lay, confirmed the order to Reuters today.
百事可乐子公司 Frito-Lay 北美供应链的高管Mike O‘Connell今天向路透社证实此订单。
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.”
这位仁兄说公司有着超过一万辆卡车，目前正在分析北美的路线哪里最适合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.
上个月Tesla发布了电动半卡车的价格，续航300miles与续航500miles的价格分别是
15万美元与18万美元，也有创始人版本，为20万美元。
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/说明：
目前Semi的订单确认的已超过300辆，有传闻是说累积已经有1200辆的订单
比较知名的订单除了这新闻说的百事可乐之外，还有百威啤酒上周订了40辆
DHL也有下订单
这其实有点超出我的预期
因为Semi是要到2019年才会交车，加上Tesla一贯会延迟的风格
能在2020年看到Semi上路就算快的了
没想到还这么久的事情就已经有这么多公司先下了订单缴了订金了
(一辆订金似乎变成2万镁)
这跟一般人Model 3、买Roadster 2先付订金的状况有些不同
大部分的人都是连车还没看到摸到，因为喜欢才付订金慢慢等车，大多是感性大于理性
但这些公司都是很理性的为了实际上的利益才会下订单
却也这么快就付钱排队
虽说他们应该是都有实际体验过Semi原型车了，跟一般人不同
不过还是让人很意外现在就有这么多订单了
