Tesla is holding its Semi Rollout event at the new Nevada factory to celebrate the start of high-volume production. The plant, which Tesla says covers 1.8 million square feet, is built to scale to 50,000 trucks annually.
Wrong: title, summary and body gave the Sparks Semi plant as 1.7 million square feet, a figure from earlier secondhand reporting (NotaTeslaApp). Right: Tesla said during the Sept. 24 rollout broadcast that the plant covers 1.8 million square feet (@tesla_semi, 2026-09-24); figure now attributed to Tesla.
The company is celebrating the dedicated Semi plant, which Tesla says covers 1.8 million square feet and is now online and designed to reach 50,000 trucks per year.
