PepsiCo has promised to reduce the greenhouse gasses its supply chain produces by 20% by 2030 and its recent order of 100 Tesla Semis should help move them a bit closer to their goal. PepsiCo currently has a fleet of 100,000 traditional semis in use throughout the  United States. PepsiCo's recent order, the largest to date, brings the unofficial number of public reservations to 285 (according to Reuters).

Telsa unveiled its two Semis alongside the next iteration of the Telsa Roadster on November 16, 2017 with promised ranges of 300 and 500 miles.
