- This is our first factory built for Semi. – 50,000 units/year – Every variant built on the same production line (Standard, Long Range, European spec) – 1.8M sq ft00:00
- Semi Factory introduces many firsts: – First powder coated Class 8 truck – Highest weight-capacity EMS conveyance in vehicle manufacturing, with 39 frames-in-white fully assembled – One of our most automated battery lines to date! Most truck plants just assemble – we make the
- Over the last 4 years, we redesigned Semi for true volume It's more efficient, more manufacturable & more reliable Moving from 2170 to our in-house 4680 cells means less battery mass & fewer kWh with no compromise on range, enabling lower cost00:00
- A much better drivetrain: – Steel-caged rotor instead of carbon fiber: cheaper, more reliable, more efficient – Bar-wound stator shared with @cybertruck: proven design that we build at volume already, lowering cost This enables improved operational range across environmental00:00
- The best part is no part – Semi is the first heavy-duty truck with electric steering, eliminating hydraulic compressors & fluids (which leak & require service) It's lighter, quieter, more precise & redundant by design This also lays the groundwork for future autonomy00:00
- Megamanifold is our next gen heat pump that runs cabin HVAC & all powertrain heating & cooling at once. Unlike diesel trucks where heat generated by the engine is lost, Semi can draw excess heat from the powertrain to keep the driver comfortable00:00
- This thermal system is also shared with Cybercab – one thermal system for both our most efficient vehicle & our biggest vehicle
- Semi drives like a Tesla Acoustic glass for a quiet cabin, a roll-down window & a cabin you can stand up in, with visibility you don't get in a diesel To make drivers' jobs easier, we've automated parts of the pre-trip inspection & can provide electronic logs when those checks00:00
- Semi requires almost no maintenance For 2026, our year-to-date uptime was >98%00:00
- On a Megacharger, you can regain up to 60% of range back in 30 minutes Megachargers are deployed along major freight routes
- Deliveries start now – thank you to our customers! We'll be our own customer, too: you'll see Semis hauling Tesla freight00:00
Down the road add fully autonomous capabilities and the cost to move freight goes way down. Without autonomous Semis there will be no Age of Abundance
