Pepsi just placed an order for 100 Tesla Semis — here are all the companies buying the electric truck (TSLA)

Pepsi has ordered 100 Tesla Semis.Pepsi joins major companies like Walmart and Anheuser-Busch as early customers for Tesla's new electric trucks.Some were skeptical of Tesla's ability to break into the trucking industry.Tesla just added another major client to its Semi pre-order list, as Pepsi has reserved 100 of Tesla's electric trucks, according to Reuters. Pepsi's order is the largest known order yet, as it represents over one-third of an estimated 267 reserved trucks so far.The order is part of Pepsi's goal to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases produced throughout its supply chain by a minimum of 20 percent by 2030, Mike O'Connell, Pepsi's senior director of North American supply chain, told Reuters. While some had doubts about Tesla's ability to break into the trucking industry before it introduced the Semi, early orders indicate Tesla may beat expectations. The electric trucks have impressive features, including a 500-mile range per charge and the ability to travel 400 miles on a 30-minute charge, impact resistant glass, an innovative cabin design, and the ability to go from 0-60 mph in five seconds without any cargo and in 20 seconds while carrying 80,000 pounds of cargo.
