Tesla<\/a> has just shared a new photo of four white Tesla Semi<\/a> Class 8 all-electric vehicles, parked side-by-side. One of the vehicles has a smaller day cab, while the other three are full-blown semis.<\/p>\n

The location is obviously the world’s first Megacharging<\/a> station at the Tesla Gigafactory 1<\/a> in Nevada, which we can see in the latest drone flyover video<\/a>.\u00a0According to unofficial reports, the Semi should be able to charge at up to 1.5 MW at such a station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company reportedly produces the first Semis at a new facility<\/a>, located a mile from the main Gigafactory 1. A few vehicles were seen driving around the facility<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The manufacturer remains silent about the Tesla Semi progress in its Q4 2021 financial report, although it’s expected that a limited number of vehicles will be deployed later this year. The vehicle status is “in development” and the final production site has not been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, we reported about the Frito-Lay\u2019s facility in Modesto, California, which is getting a few Tesla Megachargers<\/a>. PepsiCo expected to receive the first Tesla Semi by the end of 2021, but it didn’t happen. The installation of Megachargers suggests that at least a pilot deployment is near.<\/p>\n
