While Pepsi is setting up its Megacharger station to accept its first Tesla Semi batch on December 1, Coca-Cola is already doing deliveries in battery-powered trucks as of today. Renault Trucks previously mocked Elon Musk about the Semi's release promises and now beat Tesla to the long-haul EV game by a week. Renault, however, delivered its first electric rigs to Pepsi's archrival Coke in Belgium today, a week before the Semi's official launch event that Tesla has invited shareholders and investors to. The Renault trucks are of the E-Tech D et D Wide model varieties and are not exactly a direct Tesla Semi competitor as they have much shorter range on a charge. The tailor-made Renault rigs can cover 200km on a charge, while the route of its diesel trucks in the area averages 150km.
