Production Milestone and Capacity: Tesla confirmed the start of high-volume manufacturing for the Semi truck in 2026 at its dedicated facility adjacent to Gigafactory Nevada. This site is engineered for a maximal annual capacity of 50,000 trucks, although the company has specified that the scaling process will be gradual.
