Tesla Semi First Delivery News Roundup [Live Coverage]
Tesla just kicked off the Semi’s first delivery event! It took some time, but the Tesla Semi is officially hitting the road.
Teslarati will be closely covering the Tesla Semi first delivery event so stay tuned. If you didn’t get an invite, you can still join the festivities online. The link to the Tesla Semi’s first delivery event is below.





Pre-Event Displays and Observations
Guests are slowly making their way throughout the event, taking photos of all the displays Tesla has prepared for them. Tesla will be using the Semi’s trailer bed as the stage of the event.
Tesla just tweeted about the event and shared the link to its livestream, signaling that it will start very soon. Now people can watch the event right on Twitter. People are already gathering in front of the stage.
Tesla Semi First Delivery Event Presentation
ELon Musk has arrived inside a Tesla Semi.
“I can’t believe its been five years,” Elon Musk said. “We’re excited to release our first production Tesla Semi trucks.”
Musk noted that the event is taking place right next to Tesla Giga Nevada where the Semi’s drive units and other parts are made. Guests were given the chance to tour the Tesla Semi production line before the event.

Why build the Tesla Semi?
Musk further explains that Tesla is producing a variety of vehicles to accomplish its main goal: to bring about the advent of sustainable energy. He noted that the Tesla Semi production was critical to the company’s mission. He explained that Class 8 trucks make up only 1% of vehicles in the United States, but contributes 20% of U.S. vehicle emissions and 36% of U.S. vehicle particulate emissions.
“At Tesla we don’t make slow cars. This thing has crazy power relative to a diesel truck,” Musk said.
The Tesla Semi: It’s a Beast
The Tesla Semi has 3x the power than other diesel trucks on the road. It has a 1000 volt powertrain, uses Tesla’s innovative heat pump system, and infotainment system as well. The Semi is essentially using the Plaid’s powertrain. It’s equipped with a tri-motor powertrain, delivering a smooth driving experience–both in terms of acceleration and deceleration. It weighs 82,000 pounds.
“I find it amazing that this enormous thing can be powered by something you can carry in your hand,” commented Elon Musk.
Regenerative braking and the Semi’s traction control make truck driving safer and more efficient. On November 25, the Tesla Semi drove 500 miles without charging during the drive. The Semi is shaped like a bullet, making it more aerodynamic.






The Tesla Semi also is built with the driver in mind. There’s a wireless charging pad for their phones, ports for their wires, plenty of space, and enough cargo space.
The company has tested the Semi throughout all kinds of weather, testing its durability. Tesla also developed a MW charger to charge the Semi which will also be used for the Cybertruck. The MW charger will be coming to the Supercharger Network.
Tesla will be using the Semi in its own factories, showing the confidence it has in the Class 8 truck. By using the trucks, Tesla will also be closing its feedback loop, which will help the company improve the Semi moving forward.
PepsiCo and the Tesla Semi
Pepsi representatives thanks Tesla, especially the people for working hard on the Semi. Pepsi also had a surprise for guests at the event, providing snacks from everyone–delivered by the Tesla Semi, of course.
And that’s a wrap. Hope you enjoyed our coverage and join us again for the next big Tesla event!

Elon Musk just roasted Sam Altman’s Tesla Roadster cancellation
“And you forgot to mention act 4, where this issue was fixed and you received a refund within 24 hours.
But that is in your nature.”
Elon Musk has responded to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s decision to cancel his Tesla Roadster reservation, which he revealed on X on Thursday.
We reported on Altman’s decision, which he called “A tale in three acts,” showing his confirmation email from Tesla back in 2018, an email requesting his $50,000 deposit back after canceling his order, and a notification from Google that the email he sent was not delivered.

Musk did not take too kindly to the post from his tech rival, first referencing his position with OpenAI, and then confirming that Altman received his reservation deposit back within 24 hours:
And you forgot to mention act 4, where this issue was fixed and you received a refund within 24 hours.
But that is in your nature.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 1, 2025
OpenAI was started by Musk, Altman, and others back in 2015, and was geared toward being a non-profit company that would develop safe artificial intelligence that would be accessible to people.
However, Musk and Altman did not agree on the future of the company. Musk left, and Altman turned OpenAI into a for-profit company. This led to a variety of lawsuits and some very public spats between the two. Musk has called out Altman for turning the company into a for-profit, which has been his main source of criticism for his former colleague.
The Roadster has been hanging in the balance of Tesla’s manufacturing plans for seven years, but the company has made more indications that it will be unveiled later this year and will have some insane technologies.
Musk said on Friday in an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience Podcast that Tesla is “getting close to demonstrating the prototype.”
He said:
“Whether it’s good or bad, it will be unforgettable. My friend Peter Thiel once reflected that the future was supposed to have flying cars, but we don’t have flying cars. I think if Peter wants a flying car, he should be able to buy one…I think it has a shot at being the most memorable product unveil ever. [It will be unveiled] hopefully before the end of the year. You know, we need to make sure that it works. This is some crazy technology in this car. Let’s just put it this way: if you took all the James Bond cars and combined them, it’s crazier than that.”
Musk hinted that the vehicle could fly and would have “crazy technology” that would put James Bond’s vehicles to shame. It will be interesting to see what Tesla will unveil when the event happens and if it can come through on this mind-blowing teaser.

SpaceX successfully launches 100th Starlink mission of 2025
With 100 Starlink missions completed for 2025, space enthusiasts have noted that SpaceX has successfully launched 2,554 Starlink satellites so far this year.
SpaceX achieved its 100th Starlink mission of the year on Friday, October 31, marking another milestone for 2025.
A Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink broadband satellites successfully lifted off from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California at 4:41 p.m. ET, carrying another 28 Starlink satellites to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
Falcon 9 booster’s 29th flight
Roughly 8.5 minutes after liftoff, the Falcon 9’s first stage touched down on the drone ship Of Course I Still Love You in the Pacific Ocean. This marked the booster’s 29th flight, which is approaching SpaceX’s reuse record of 31 missions.
This latest mission adds to SpaceX’s impressive 138 Falcon 9 launches in 2025, 99 of which were dedicated to Starlink, according to Space.com. The company’s focus on reusing boosters has enabled this breakneck pace, with multiple launches each week supporting both Starlink’s expansion and external customers.
Starlink’s network continues massive global expansion
Starlink remains the largest active satellite constellation in history, with more than 10,000 satellites launched, nearly 8,800 of which are currently active. SpaceX recently achieved Starlink’s 10,000-satellite milestone. With 100 Starlink missions completed for 2025, space enthusiasts have noted that SpaceX has successfully launched 2,554 Starlink satellites so far this year.
Starlink, which provides high-speed, low-latency internet connectivity even to the world’s most remote areas, has been proven to be life-changing technology for people across the globe. The service is currently operational in about 150 countries, and it currently has over 5 million subscribers worldwide. From this number, 2.7 million joined over the past year.

Tesla shares updated timeframe for Cybertruck FSD V14 release
The Cybertruck was expected to receive FSD V14 before the end of the month, but Tesla was not able to meet the target.
Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) V14 update for the Cybertruck could arrive this weekend, as per recent comments from Director of Autopilot Software and VP of AI Ashok Elluswamy.
The Cybertruck was expected to receive FSD V14 before the end of the month, but Tesla was not able to meet the target.
Cybertruck FSD V14
Considering the extended wait for FSD V14, it was no surprise that several Cybertruck owners were asking for updates about the system’s rollout to the all-electric pickup truck on Friday. These included the official Cybertruck X account, which responded to Elluswamy’s end of month estimate with “I only see trick. Where is my treat.”
This prompted a response from the AI executive, who replied with, “Sorry, pushing for early access Cyber release over the weekend.” This means that if all goes well, Cybertruck owners would be able to experience FSD V14 very soon. Some, however, are wondering if Tesla would go straight to V14.2 for the Cybertruck’s FSD V14 update, or if the vehicle will receive V14.1 first.
Tesla pushes to unify FSD experience across its lineup
The upcoming Cybertruck rollout represents the next step in Tesla’s efforts to roll out FSD capabilities across all of its vehicles. FSD V14 is a notable step forward for the company’s AI-driven self driving system, with features like Mad Max mode getting positive reviews from longtime Full Self Driving testers.
For the Cybertruck, the FSD V14 update would mark one of its first major over-the-air upgrades for the vehicle. Likely due to its size, the Cybertruck tends to receive FSD updates later than the S3XY lineup, which is quite surprising considering that the all-electric pickup truck is a premium-priced vehicle that is home to some of Tesla’s most advanced technologies.
