Tesla is investing $3.6 billion in two new factories to build electric vehicle batteries and its all-electric Semi heavy-duty truck near an existing production site in Reno, Nevada.
The new battery facility will make Tesla's latest so-called 4680 cells with capacity for use in as many as 2 million vehicles a year, Tesla said in a statement on its website. It will also build a "high-volume" facility for its Semi, which debuted late last year, but the company did not provide estimated production numbers.
