Elon Musk was in Germany this week to talk about the expansion of the Tesla factory and building the Tesla Semi there.
Elon Musk visited the Tesla Gigafactory in Grünheide, Germany, this week to give a talk to the workers and staff. During his 20-minute presentation, he said it could “make sense” to manufacture the Tesla Semi at the German factory. He also confirmed that high-volume production of the Tesla Semi will be up and running by the end of the year.
Tesla says the Semi has a range of 500 miles , but the company has yet to publish any official information on the payload, battery capacity, or power. In the US, the Semi is categorized as a Class 8 truck with a gross vehicle weight of up to 80,000 lb. Electric trucks are allowed to exceed this limit by a further 2,000 lb. Tesla stated some time ago that it has achieved that 500-mile range with an 82,000 lb Semi, implying it was accomplished with a full load.
“On the flip side, Elon Musk is often not one to hold back good news or expectations of good news. Especially in the context of hurting sales growth and gross profit, one would think that he’d be eager to share news of growing Semi production and 4680 production if he was bullish on progress in the coming quarters. The only thing mentioned about the Semi in the shareholder letter is that it’s in pilot production.
