First Tesla Semi Rolls Off High-Volume Production Line
Tesla has produced the first Tesla Semi from its new high-volume production line at Gigafactory Nevada, marking a major step in the long-delayed electric truck program. The company confirmed volume production is underway at a dedicated 1.7-million-square-foot facility adjacent to the existing Gigafactory. This shift enables greater output and leverages vertical integration, particularly with 4680 battery cell production on-site.
