Tesla’s dedicated factory for its Class 8 all-electric Semi truck welcomed the new year with some fresh construction.
Based on the progress of the facility so far, 2025 may very well become the year of the Tesla Semi.
New updates:
- Fresh aerial footage from Tesla Semi advocate @HinrichsZane has revealed that the Semi factory, which is located close to Giga Nevada, now has windows and new walls.
- It is also evident that the facility’s concrete slab is nearing completion, and its stamping pit is coming along with rebar cages.
- With more of the exterior of the Tesla Semi factory making very good progress, it would not be surprising if some work on the factory’s interior starts in the coming months.

The Tesla Semi factory:
- The Tesla Semi factory is expected to start initial vehicle production sometime this 2025.
- Once ramped, the Tesla Semi factory is expected to produce about 50,000 of the Class 8 all-electric trucks every year.
- This would make it one of the United States’ most productive truck factories by volume.
