The new Tesla semi truck factory is finally under construction in Nevada.
The structure of the new facility, built next to the Giga Nevada factory, has been raised almost a year after Tesla announced plans for the facility back in January 2023.
In April, Tesla stated that the Tesla semi truck would be in full production by ‘late 2025.’ This appears to still be the current plan according to Electrek.
For now, Tesla semis are being largely used internally by Tesla and by PepsiCo.
Yesterday, Semi Factory Nevada topped off the main area of the building with the last major piece of structural steel! Fantastic design and execution by this construction team and our contractor partners with focus on safety and efficiency. This factory is going to rock! pic.twitter.com/YJRMO5bOaB
