Tesla Semi Production Increasing; New Factory Progressing

Twenty-six new Tesla Semis were spotted outside the Gigafactory Nevada facility, signaling a possible ramp up in production.

Meanwhile, Tesla Semi program Senior Manager Dan Priestley posted a short update on the buildout of the company's dedicated Semi facility.

Tesla is currently in the process of constructing a new facility whose main purpose is to produce electric semi-trucks at a higher volume. Expectations of the new factory are to be up and operational in 2025.

Factory Buildout Progress

Tesla's electric semi-truck factory construction has reached several milestones, including the installation of panels in the northwest corner, the erection of additional steel beams, and the pouring of concrete flooring in the covered area.

Tesla has partnered with BZI, a Utah-based steel fabrication company renowned for its innovative construction techniques, to bring this ambitious project to life. BZI is employing state-of-the-art tools such as the transportable Panel Table system, the MezzMaster telehandler attachment for secure assembly holding, and the SkyBrace rigid-brace system, which enables cable-free construction. These cutting-edge methods are expected to enhance efficiency and precision throughout the building process.

What's Next?

For now, all we can do is keep an eye on Tesla's facility development. Once operational in 2025, we will then see what sort of boost the semis will have on the freight industry.
