Elon Musk has confirmed that Tesla will begin high-volume production of the Class 8 all-electric Semi this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He shared his update in a post on social media platform X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tesla CEO Elon Musk reaffirmed on X<\/a> that the Semi is finally moving into volume production, posting on Sunday that \u201cTesla Semi starts high volume production this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The update comes as Tesla refreshed its Semi lineup on its official website, an apparent hint that the program is transitioning from limited pilots into wider commercial deployment. As per Tesla\u2019s official website<\/a>, two variants of the Semi will be offered to consumers: Standard and Long Range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Standard trim offers up to 325 miles of range with an energy consumption rating of 1.7 kWh per mile and a gross combination weight rating of 82,000 pounds. The Long Range version pushes driving range to 500 miles, with Tesla noting a higher curb weight of about 23,000 pounds, likely due to a larger battery pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both trims support fast charging, with Tesla stating that the Semi can recover up to 60% of its range<\/a> in 30 minutes using compatible charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
