Tesla will build an EV semi truck factory in Nevada, part of a more than $3.6 billion investment by the company to expand its manufacturing footprint in the state, it announced Tuesday.
The EV maker also announced plans to build a plant to produce 4680 battery cells. Tesla says the cell factory will produce enough batteries to power 1.5 million light-duty vehicles a year. It did not provide an estimate for how many Semi vehicles its “high-volume” truck factory would produce each year.
