Tesla Inc. pushed back the reveal of its semi truck by three weeks as Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk focuses on boosting production of the cheaper sedan that the electric-car maker is counting on to dramatically increase sales.
Resources are being diverted to address the bottlenecks holding back the Model 3, Musk wrote in a tweet Friday. He’s also delaying the semi unveiling to Nov. 16 because Tesla is prioritizing efforts to increase battery output for Puerto Rico, which has sought the company’s help to restore power following Hurricane Maria.
