Tesla delivered its first all-electric Semi trucks after nearly a decade of delays since the 2017 reveal. The 500-mile-range vehicle costs roughly $300,000 before incentives and is produced at a new Reno factory expected to build up to 50,000 trucks annually. The launch addresses heavy-duty trucking emissions, which account for 16% of transportation emissions despite representing only 1% of vehicles.
Tesla began volume production of its long-delayed Semi truck in April 2026, nearly a decade after its 2017 concept debut. The company announced major customers including PepsiCo and DHL at a factory event, with two models offering 325 and 500 miles of range, though pricing and order details remained undisclosed.
