Tesla has delivered a new fleet of up to 21 Tesla Semi electric trucks to PepsiCo as the automaker slowly ramps up the much-delayed vehicle program. Tesla unveiled the production version of its Tesla Semi class 8 electric truck and delivered the first units in December. It came after years of delays in the program. Reservation holders are glad to see the electric truck in the hands of customers finally, but it hasn’t been clear how fast Tesla can ramp up production of the vehicle.…

If you're looking for one of the most high-end laptop deals around, Lenovo continues to knock things out of the park with a deal on the Lenovo ThinkPad P16 Mobile Workstation. As with all Lenovo laptop deals, it's been given a fairly hefty estimated value price by Lenovo of $9,649 but given the spec, that could be possible here. Right now, the laptop is discounted by a huge $5,564 so it's down to $4,085. That's no impulse buy price but if you're looking for a supremely powerful laptop, it could be worth the…

Tesla has put the Cybertruck against the Tesla Semi in what looks like a drag race, but it is more likely a photo op. As a semi-truck, the Tesla Semi has truly impressive performance. Drivers have said that it handles more like a sports car than a semi-truck – and it sure accelerates closer to a sports car.
