Tesla Launches High-Volume Production of Semi Electric Truck

Tesla has officially commenced high-volume production of its Semi electric truck at a dedicated facility in Sparks, Nevada, with an annual capacity of 50,000 units. After a seven-year delay from its initial announcement, the vehicle now features 4680 battery cells, electronic steering, and advanced thermal management. While the ZET SCALE coalition and other major logistics firms have placed significant orders, the company faces challenges regarding charging infrastructure and a price point that has increased by approximately 60% since the 2017 unveiling. Tesla shares fell 1.54% to $372.11 following the announcement, as analysts maintain a cautious outlook.
