First Look Inside the New Tesla Semi: 10 Cameras, New Window Design an

Tesla is preparing to deliver its most ambitious all-electric hauler, the Semi, to customers. The truck was shown in its updated design last fall, and new footage from CoreMemoryVideos offers a detailed look at the final production interior and the dedicated factory floor where it will be assembled.

The redesigned Tesla Semi differs substantially from the early prototypes seen years ago. With customer deliveries expected in the coming months, recent sightings indicate that the production ramp in Nevada is well underway.

Inside the Redesigned Cabin

A recent tour of the cabin shows a refined driver workspace with two 16-inch touchscreens positioned on either side of the central driving seat.

The cabin now includes 10 external cameras and an internal cabin camera. These will likely be used initially for safety features such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist, and Tesla is likely already considering FSD for the Tesla Semi as well.

Usability updates address driver feedback: the cupholders have been moved higher for easier reach, and there is a larger side storage area next to them.

Other modern touches include integrated wireless phone chargers. The side windows have also been redesigned so the driver can reach outside; previously, the window vented toward the rear, letting in some fresh air but not enough room to extend a hand.

Semi Specs and Delivery Timelines

Tesla is launching two distinct variants: a Standard Range trim with 325 miles of range and a Long Range trim capable of 500 miles while fully loaded at 82,000 lbs. Both models utilize a three-motor powertrain on the rear axles and are designed for full autonomy in the future.

Weight targets are a standout. The Standard Range model has a curb weight of less than 20,000 lbs, while the Long Range version comes in at 23,000 lbs. With the additional 2,000-lb allowance for zero-emission trucks, the payload gap between the Semi and a diesel rig effectively disappears. Energy consumption is rated at 1.7 kWh per mile.

High-Volume Production in Nevada

To support the rollout, Tesla is scaling a dedicated Semi factory in Nevada. Separate from Gigafactory Nevada, the facility is designed for a high-volume ramp, with an eventual goal of 50,000 units annually.

This expansion coincides with the opening of the first public Megacharger station, which can deliver up to 1.2MW to the Semi. This enables the Long Range trim to recover 60% of its range in just 30 minutes, aligning with mandatory break times for many commercial drivers.

As mass production begins this year, the Tesla Semi is positioned to demonstrate that long-haul trucking isn’t just electric — it’s highly efficient.
