Tesla Semi Production Ramps Up, Delivering Long-Range Electric Trucking

Tesla's Semi is moving from promise to pavement, with plans to produce 50,000 units a year. That scale matters because a 500-mile range isn't just a spec; it's the threshold that makes electric trucking viable for real logistics routes. We see this as a deliberate push to normalize long-haul electrification, not a flashy stunt. For fleets tired of range anxiety, this ramp signals a practical shift. Curious how similar momentum is shaping autonomy? Our piece on Waymo's Texas fleet growth offers a useful parallel.
