You can tell what Tesla is up to with the Semi by looking at these Nevada pics

The Tesla Semi truck is a fascinating project.

Despite not yet being available to the public, it has been extremely well-received by the trucking industry.

That lack of public access, however, might be about to change.

Because pictures from Nevada appear to show production ramping up.

Tesla first teased the possibility of a big rig truck in November of 2017.

To that end, America’s flagship EV brand unveiled a concept prototype of the Semi.

November 2022 saw Tesla reveal that the Semi had completed a 500-mile range test.

The marque started delivering its first Semi units to customers the following month.

PepsiCo is one of the first major corporations to sign up for the Semi.

And it was absolutely delighted, with company Vice-President Mike O’Connell stating that the Semi could haul products for 425 miles on a single charge.

The Semi truck itself has a design directly inspired by Japanese Shinkansen bullet trains.

The Semi is also powered by three carbon-fiber wrapped electric motors.

One motor operates continuously, while the other two provide additional power.

It now appears that Tesla is moving a lot closer to making the Semi available to the public.

Pictures captured by Semi enthusiast Zanegler on Twitter have revealed something interesting.

The Tesla Gigafactory in Reno, Nevada, has completed expansion of its property walls.

Parts of the upcoming Semi truck, particularly the Tractor unit, were spotted.

It is anticipated that the truck will move into full production for 2026.

Lars Moravy, Tesla’s VP of Vehicle Engineering, gave an update on the Semi earlier this year.

“So, we just closed out the Semi factory roof of walls last week in Reno, a schedule, which is great with the weather,” he said of their development progress.

“But we’re prepping for mechanical installation of all the equipment in the coming months.

“The first builds of the high volumes in design come late this year in 2025 and begin ramping early in 2026,” he said, offering a direct timeline for expected commercial production of the Semi.

Tesla has already proven itself as the ultimate disruptor of the mainstream car industry.

Could the Semi completely reinvent the haulage industry as well?The post You can tell what Tesla is up to with the Semi by looking at these Nevada pics appeared first on Supercar Blondie.
