Tesla Begins Semi Truck Deliveries

TESLA INC is beginning deliveries of its long-awaited Semi electric trucks to an initial group of customers in the United States this week, nearly nine years after CEO Elon Musk first unveiled the heavy-duty rig. The commercial rollout comes as diesel prices in the country hover near record highs, opening a new revenue stream for the automaker. For investors, the long-haul freight expansion tests Tesla's ability to scale commercial manufacturing amid shifting electric vehicle policies.
