One of the most anticipated vehicles is the first electric truck from the American motor giant. We talk about Tesla Semi, a tractor unit that was introduced in 2017, but has suffered countless delays. But, it seems that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
More than anything because the company founded by Elon Musk has just announced that reservations for the Tesla Semi can now be made. In this way, if you are interested in buying the first electric truck from the American manufacturer, you will have to make a first refundable payment of $5,000, and a little later a second payment of $15,000 after 10 days, as advertised on their website. This last payment is non-refundable like the first.
Tesla opens reservations for its electric truck
The American motor giant also offers you the possibility of reserving more than one electric truck, but in this case you will have to pay $20,000 for each unit.
To say that the company itself has clarified that the reservation of the Tesla Semi is to enter a kind of queue “By making your Reservation, you have secured approximate priority for ordering your Tesla Semis. The timing of your order may depend on development, manufacturing, and production schedules, among other factors. Your reservation will be effective when we receive the payment for your reservation.”
for now reservations have opened in the United States so we will have to wait a few weeks to see if they extend the possibility to other markets, something that we highly doubt, according to the company’s latest movements.
You can no longer reserve the Tesla Cybertruck in Europe
more than anything because Tesla has just closed reservations for the Cybertruck in Europe and Asia. In North America it remains available, although with a backlog of 1.5 million units, its gigafactory in Austin won’t be able to keep up with demand for another two years. While it is true that some reservations will be canceled, it is clear that Tesla has had no choice but to close reservations for its long-awaited electric truck.
As for the date on which we will see the first units in circulation, Elon Musk’s forecasts are that in 2023 both the Tesla Cybertruck and its electric truck will begin to circulate. But it will be necessary to see if new problems do not appear in the production chain that will delay one of the most important projects of Tesla. Let’s remember that PepsiCo has already bought a good number of units, so it will be among the first to receive its long-awaited Tesla Semi.
