Tesla to inaugurate its Semi factory in Nevada on September 24
Tesla confirmed it will officially inaugurate its dedicated Semi factory in Sparks, Nevada, on September 24, five months after volume production began. The 1.7 million square foot plant, part of a $3.6 billion expansion, is designed for up to 50,000 trucks annually. This inauguration marks a shift from Tesla's usual practice of celebrating the first vehicle produced and coincides with the Semi's upcoming European unveiling at the IAA Transportation show in Hannover. Semi program director Dan Priestley stated production is ramping up but not yet at full scale.
