"US Government Pushes for Electric Trucks with Tough New Emission Standards"
TL;DR Summary
A Tesla engineer provided a rare update on the Tesla Semi electric truck program, revealing that the trucks have transported over 20,000 battery packs from Gigafactory Nevada to the Fremont factory at a lower operating cost than diesel trucks. The update comes as the EPA released new heavy duty truck rules, which are expected to accelerate the transition to electric trucks. However, Tesla's electric truck production is not likely to ramp up until the Gigafactory Nevada expansion is completed.
