The Tesla Semi is a battery electric semi-trailer truck built by Tesla, Inc. since 2022. The truck is powered by three motors, and is claimed by Tesla to have approximately three times the power of a typical diesel semi truck, a range of 500 miles (800 km), and operate at an energy use of less than two kilowatt-hours per mile (1.2 kW⋅h/km).^[2]

Two concept vehicles were unveiled in November 2017. Tesla CEO Elon Musk originally promised that production would begin in 2019.^[3] Production began in October 2022, several years behind schedule,^[4] and initial deliveries were made to PepsiCo on December 1, 2022.^[5]

Volume production of the Semi is planned to begin by the end of 2025. Once complete, the manufacturing facility, located adjacent to the existing Giga Nevada facility, is planned to produce 50,000 Semi trucks annually. The volume production Semi is expected to weigh the same as a comparable diesel truck.^[6]
