Nearly a Decade Later, the Electric Tesla Semi Is Here

Tesla Semi Enters Volume Production Nearly a Decade After Its Debut

Tesla officially began high-volume production of the Semi at its Sparks, Nevada factory, roughly nine years after the truck debuted as a concept in late 2017.
The long-range Semi is estimated at 500 miles per charge, close to the average daily distance for US long-haul truckers, while a standard version is estimated at 325 miles; competitors advertise 155 to 430 miles.
Charging infrastructure is a major obstacle: Tesla's site lists only two public megawatt chargers, both in the Los Angeles area, though program lead Dan Priestley says 30 are planned by year's end.
Electric semis cost two to three times more upfront than diesel models, and US adoption lags China, where electrics make up nearly 30 percent of heavy-duty truck sales.

The call came during an Aug. 25 visit to MD Juan Enterprises Inc. in Caloocan City, where the company's electric vehicle manufacturing plans were discussed.
DOST Secretary Renato Solidum Jr. said the government is looking at providing equipment and technology for domestic production, with electric jeepneys also planned.
