Why it matters
Tesla has put the Semi into customer deliveries, but its 50,000-truck figure is planned annual capacity. The company has not said how many trucks the line is producing now, making the ramp and fleet performance the real test of its freight bet.
Tesla says customer deliveries of its Semi electric truck begin from a new factory in Sparks, Nevada, after nearly nine years of shifting production targets. In a 13-post thread on X posted on September 25th, Tesla called the event the start of "high volume production" and said it would also use the trucks to haul its own freight. Reuters reported the factory rollout took place on September 24th.
