Tesla is ramping up the production of its Semi electric semi-truck by hiring over a thousand new employees in Nevada. This significant workforce expansion underscores the company's commitment to fulfilling its promise of mass production. Initially unveiled by Elon Musk in 2017 with an ambitious target of mass production in 2019, the Semi has faced multiple delays due to challenges in the battery supply chain. Nevertheless, the new factory is anticipated to commence operations by the end of this year, with full-scale mass production slated for 2026, aiming to achieve an annual production capacity of 50,000 units. The Semi boasts an impressive range of up to 800 kilometers on a full charge and supports rapid charging to 70% capacity in just 30 minutes, with the potential for future integration of autonomous driving technologies.
