Waiting on the Tesla Semi

Tesla will produce its much-anticipated all-electric truck in “limited volumes” this year, according to CEO Elon Musk.

"Tesla (TSLA) plans to put “limited volumes” of its heavy-duty truck on the road in 2020, CEO Elon Musk said during the company’s earnings call last week, but faster production requires a massive ramping up in battery power.

“That’s part of the reason why we have not, for example, really accelerated production of the Semi,” Musk said. “[It] means making fewer Model 3 or Model Y cars. It uses a lot of cells.”
