Tesla announced that the official opening of its new high-volume Semi factory will take place on September 24, 2026, in Nevada, five months after production began. The plant, designed to produce up to 50,000 units annually, started building the first Semi in April 2026, although mass production has been delayed until 2027. The Semi is offered in two versions: Long Range with 804 km range and Standard Range with 523 km, priced at $290,000 and $260,000 respectively.
