The Tesla Semi is finally ready for the road.
More than five years after it was originally unveiled as a concept, the first production versions of the electric Class 8 tractor will be delivered on Dec. 1.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in October that PepsiCo would be receiving the first of the trucks it had ordered then, but the automaker has now confirmed there will be an event at its factory in Sparks, Nevada, on the date.
Tesla has not announced if any other companies would be getting trucks at that time. The first customer Tesla Semis will be delivered at an event in Nevada on Dec. 1.

It will be built at the Nevada facility, which primarily manufactures battery packs and electric motors.
"500 mile range & super fun to drive," Musk tweeted in October.

The Semi has previously been advertised with a price of $180,000, but it is not currently listed on the company's website. The recently passed Inflation Reduction Act includes a $40,000 tax credit for the purchase of heavy electric vehicles.
The Semi is rated at a gross vehicle weight of 82,000 pounds, which is 2,000 pounds more than an internal combustion engine truck is allowed.
