A new tidbit of information about the Tesla Semi has surfaced during the trial over Elon Musk's CEO compensation plan at Tesla. According to The Wall Street Journal, Robin Denholm, chair of Tesla's board, testified yesterday that Tesla plans to order 100 Tesla Semi trucks this year.
"Tesla, for example, might produce 100 semitrailer trucks this year," Denholm said, "years behind schedule." This will obviously include the Tesla Semis that have already been built since October.

Tesla will hold a delivery event for the Semi on December 1 at Giga Nevada, according to a poster shared by the automaker on social media yesterday. The event will be attended by shareholders lucky enough to be picked in a random drawing organized by the automaker through the Tesla Shareholder Platform.
The first batch of Tesla Semi electric trucks will be delivered to Pepsi on December 1, with the food and drinks giant to use the vehicles at its Frito-Lay plant in Modesto and beverages plant in Sacramento (both in California).
