Tesla Semi is in high-volume production at a dedicated 1.8 million square foot factory in Sparks, Nevada, built for 50,000 trucks a year. Standard Range does 325 miles fully loaded for around $260,000; Long Range does 500 miles for about $290,000. Megachargers restore 60 percent of range in 30 minutes. PepsiCo, DHL and US Foods are early customers, alongside a 2,500-truck order from the ZET alliance. Electric steering lays the groundwork for autonomy, but there's no self-driving yet.
