Pepsi Discloses Tesla Semi Autonomy Capabilities and Future Plans

Last week, CNBC reporters went to Pepsi's Frito-Lay facility in Modesto, California to check out the new electric trucks from Tesla called Semi. They wanted to see if the trucks were as good as people say they are. After watching the report, I found out some fascinating information about how Pepsi uses the Tesla Semis, and I thought I'd share it with you.

I have already filed one report at Torque News Youtube channel about some of the interesting things Pepsi shared with CNBC, such as Pepsi Tesla Semi delivering Frito-lay products around 425 miles per charge. It also delivers Pepsi out of its Sacramento warehouse on 100 mile daily routes, going directly to stores, and 300 to 400 mile runs to other warehouses. But in this report I want to tell you what Pepsi told CNBC about Tesla Semi autonomous driving and whether they use it.

Pepsi told CNBC that the Tesla Semi trucks, they have received, don't have autonomous features activated yet. "The autonomous functionality of Tesla is not spected for these vehicles. They have the hardware capability. We'll get to that down the road as an additional capability," said PepsiCo's VP Supply Chain Mike O'Connell.
