Elon Musk says battery cell requirements result in the production of Tesla Semi

Tesla Inc chief Elon Musk tweeted on Tuesday that supply requirements identified with battery cells are making it hard proportional up production of its since a long time ago deferred Tesla Semi electric commercial truck, sending the organization’s shares down almost 2%.

“Demand is no problem, but near-term cell supply makes it hard to scale Semi. This limitation will be less onerous next year,” the billionaire entrepreneur said.

Musk’s statement was because of a tweet which referred to a news report about the electric carmaker accepting an order for ten Semi trucks from MHX Leasing LLC.

At the point when Musk uncovered the prototype of the futuristic, battery-powered Semi in 2017, he said the Class 8 truck would go into production by 2019. That timeline was subsequently pushed to 2021 and the organization said it hopes to begin delivering the model as well.

A week ago, Musk had recommended the bottlenecks would cause the mass production to be postponed until 2022.
