Planning on utilization of Tesla Semi electric trucks for many purposes.

Tesla Semi is currently only in low-volume production at a facility outside Gigafactory Nevada.
In January 2023, Tesla announced a massive expansion of Gigafactory Nevada to add production of Tesla Semi trucks and 4680 battery cells and to finally expand the factory to its originally planned size.
However, nothing happened with the factory expansion for a year. In January 2024, Tesla finally broke ground on the project, but it’s not clear when the automaker can start production of the electric semi truck.
We haven’t heard much about the vehicle program since Tesla launched the “production version” in December 2022. The electric truck is only being used by Pepsi as part of a fleet in operation in California and in Tesla’s own fleet, primarily between its factories outside of Reno, Nevada, and Fremont, California.
This weekend, Tesla Semi chief engineer, Dan Priestley, gave a small update about the program.
