After years of delays, Tesla is planning to begin shipping mass-produced Semi-Trucks from its Nevada Gigafactory.
The Wall Street Journal reported the company is expected to deliver between 5,000 and 15,000 Semis in 2026 before ramping up to 50,000 trucks a year, according to a recent report by Tigress Financial Partners. The article highlights that the Tesla Semi is being welcomed by truck drivers who have tested the vehicle, highlighting a centered driving position, faster charging, and longer range.
With potential positive applications for the moving industry, Virgina-headquartered IAMX Validated member JK Moving has already placed an order with Tesla for six Semis. In an update to IAM, David Cox, President, reported that JK Moving has a call with Tesla at the end of the month to learn the status of their order.
