Tesla Semi engineering head Dan Priestley told Jay Leno that this is just the pilot volume, with an improved Semi to start volume production later on.
Tesla has built 60-70 Semi Class 8 electric trucks so far since low-volume production started in Q3 2022 on a pilot production line at Gigafactory Nevada. This latest production update comes from Tesla's Senior Manager of Semi-Truck Engineering Dan Priestley, who was a guest on Jay Leno's Garage in the recent video that saw the famous comedian and car collector get behind the wheel of a Tesla Semi.
He also said in October 2022 that it would take about a year to ramp up Semi production, which would have indicated late 2023-early 2024 as the start of the production ramp. When volume production does start, it will take place at a new dedicated facility on the Gigafactory Nevada complex. In January this year, Tesla announced a $3.6 billion investment to build the Semi and 4680 cells at Giga Nevada, which will gain 4 million square feet of new manufacturing footprint.
