Tesla Inc.’s touted Class 8 Semi tractor is likely to begin rolling off the company’s Reno, Nev., production line late next year, according to a senior executive.
Production of the Semi, proclaimed to be an industry-changing tractor when unveiled by Tesla CEO Elon Musk in 2017, originally was due to begin in 2019. Musk promised a battery-electric truck with a 500-mile range.
Austin, Texas-based Tesla — which made headlines earlier in the week by revealing the largest job cuts in the company’s history — expects the first customers to start receiving the long-awaited Semi in early 2026, the executive revealed.
