Tesla Semi

The headline-grabbing electric Class 8.

Unveiled in November 2017, the Tesla Semi is a battery-electric Class 8 tractor whose Long Range trim covers 500 miles on a charge and consumes about 1.7 kWh per mile, with a 1.2 MW Megacharger that recovers about 70% of range in 30 minutes. After delivering its first units to PepsiCo in December 2022, Tesla began volume production on April 29, 2026 at a plant beside Giga Nevada in Sparks built to turn out 50,000 Semis a year.
