Tesla Truck Unveil: Event details for November 16
Tesla has begun to send official email invitations to attend its upcoming truck unveiling event, to be held on Thursday, November 16 from the company’s Design Center in Hawthorne, California.
The invitation teases with a new photo of the semi-truck that’s taken from the front three-quarter angle. While we’re not able to see much of the vehicle beyond the large wind deflector that’s mounted above the main cabin and the attached tractor, the silhouette resembles the shape of a presumed Tesla’s Semi that was captured in a recent spy photo.

Tesla announced in June of 2016 through the company’s second Master Plan that it intended to expand beyond consumer vehicles and into the heavy-duty trucking industry. “We believe the Tesla Semi will deliver a substantial reduction in the cost of cargo transport, while increasing safety and making it really fun to operate.” said Tesla.
Recent reports peg the electric hauler to have a battery range between 200 to 300 miles and capable of autonomous ‘platooning’. Musk also revealed earlier in the year that the ‘seriously next level’ truck will take on the heavy duty long-range trucking sector and can be driven like a “sports car”.
“A lot of people don’t think you can do a heavy duty long-range truck that is electric. But, we are confident that this can be done.” said Musk during Tesla’s 2017 Shareholder meeting.
Tesla’s Semi truck program is being led by industry veteran Jerome Guillen, Tesla’s VP of Trucks and Programs. Having previously worked at Daimler and served as General Manager of New Product Development at Freightliner Trucks, Guillen will without doubt apply his extensive background in long-haul trucking to the company’s newest endeavor.

Tesla Giga Nevada celebrates production of 6 millionth drive unit
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
Tesla’s Giga Nevada has reached an impressive milestone, producing its 6 millionth drive unit as 2925 came to a close.
To celebrate the milestone, the Giga Nevada team gathered for a celebratory group photo.
6 million drive units
The achievement was shared by the official Tesla Manufacturing account on social media platform X. “Congratulations to the Giga Nevada team for producing their 6 millionth Drive Unit!” Tesla wrote.
The photo showed numerous factory workers assembled on the production floor, proudly holding golden balloons that spelled out “6000000″ in front of drive unit assembly stations. Elon Musk gave credit to the Giga Nevada team, writing, “Congrats on 6M drive units!” in a post on X.
Giga Nevada’s essential role
Giga Nevada produces drive units, battery packs, and energy products. The facility has been a cornerstone of Tesla’s scaling since opening, and it was the crucial facility that ultimately enabled Tesla to ramp the Model 3 and Model Y. Even today, it serves as Tesla’s core hub for battery and drivetrain components for vehicles that are produced in the United States.
Giga Nevada is expected to support Tesla’s ambitious 2026 targets, including the launch of vehicles like the Tesla Semi and the Cybercab. Tesla will have a very busy 2026, and based on Giga Nevada’s activities so far, it appears that the facility will be equally busy as well.
