Tesla Inc. has started production of its long-awaited all-electric Semi Truck and will make its first deliveries to PepsiCo Inc. in December, Chief Executive Elon Musk said late Thursday.

In August, Musk said the 500-mile-range truck would begin deliveries by the end of the year, to be followed by the Cybertruck pickup next year.

Tesla shares $(TSLA)$ have fallen 32% year to date, compared to the S&P 500's 21% decline in 2022.
