Tesla has confirmed final specifications for its Semi Class 8 electric truck, including Standard Range (325 miles, ~$260,000) and Long Range (500 miles, ~$290,000) variants with 1.7 kWh/mi efficiency. Following CEO Elon Musk's high-volume production announcement, the company revealed pricing via buyer outreach, fleet performance exceeding 4.6 million miles, and infrastructure expansion at its Nevada factory.

Tesla is accelerating its transition from electric vehicle manufacturing to robotics and artificial intelligence, amid declining revenues. The company plans to phase out production of its flagship Model S and Model X by mid-2026 to prioritize the Optimus humanoid robot. CEO Elon Musk is redirecting resources toward autonomous systems like robotaxis and Full Self-Driving software.
