Meanwhile, PepsiCo, Inc PEP, which purchased several Tesla Semis, said it expects the delivery of the trucks in the fourth quarter of this year.

Lordstown Motors RIDE said in February that it expects to begin production in the third quarter of this year, and says it will sell a maximum of 3,000 vehicles.

Hyliion Holdings Corp HYLN pushed production of its Hypertruck ERX back one year in November of last year, blaming the supply chain crisis. The company expects to deliver in 2023.
