"The company has been building a dedicated production facility in Reno, Nevada, that has finally taken shape, but Tesla was evidently not finished with the Semi's development. Tesla shares rare peek at Semi factory's interior Last week at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, Tesla said it had implemented some new designs into the Semi, helping with efficiency, updating its design, and making it a more suitable vehicle for hauling loads, as the changes also helped increase payload."
"Head of the Semi program at Tesla, Dan Priestley, said the company would be the first user of the vehicle after its launch next year. It has been using it to a certain extent, but the company has not been able to completely abandon gas haulers. Instead, it will implement the Semi into its fleet for more sustainable vehicle logistics starting next year:"
Deliveries of the all-electric Semi will expand beyond the pilot program to new companies beginning in 2026, supported by a dedicated production facility in Reno, Nevada. New Semi design updates implemented after testing improve efficiency, payload capacity, and suitability for hauling loads. Tesla already operates a pilot with PepsiCo and Frito-Lay and has secured orders from major logistics and retail firms including Walmart, Sysco, Anheuser-Busch, UPS, DHL, and J.B. Hunt. Tesla will be the first user of the vehicle post-launch and plans to integrate the Semi into its fleet to electrify supply-chain logistics. Analysts view the Semi as a significant contributor to future company growth.
