November 16, 2017: The Semi is unveiled.
December 2022: Pepsi gets the first trucks.
April 29, 2026: The first Semi rolls off a true volume-production line.
Nine years of engineering, testing, setbacks and persistence — and now the factory is here.
Last night,
@tesla_semi opened the factory built specifically for the Semi.
50,000 trucks a year.
1.8 million sq ft.
Standard, Long Range and European versions on one line.
A loaded Semi in fleet testing uses around 1.7 kWh per mile.
One Texas run came out to roughly $0.15/mile, compared with about $0.48/mile for diesel.
From a truck unveiled in 2017 to a dedicated production facility in 2026.
The road was long. The scale is finally here. ⚡️🚛
