Er worden 4 Tesla Semi bijgebouwd voor verdere testen (finale faze?), deze keer met betere batterijpacks met 2170L-cellen. Men vermoedt dat deze cellen een tot 20% hogere energiedichtheid hebben.
Zou alleszins genoeg zijn om het
beloofde rijbereik van 800 km te halen (de long range versie)
Ook nieuwe hardware 3.2 voor autopilot/FSD voor deze E-trucks.

Tesla Semi Appears in Autopilot Code & Giga Nevada May Be Building 4 Semis with New Battery Tech
by Eva Fox December 29, 2020
Now we are learning that, reportedly, Tesla is building four new Semis at its Giga Nevada factory, which will use new cells with a higher energy density. All of them will later be used for various tests. What's more, Tesla hacker @greentheonly/Twitter recently discovered that current production Autopilot already includes some coding for Semi. As he explained on Twitter, Semi has 10 cameras, with an extra repeater on the right side (unclear if this is also true for the left). And, Semi will be operating on HW3.2.
@carsonight/Twitter reports that it received information from a source familiar with the case that Tesla is building four new Semis at a factory in Nevada. They will be manufactured using a new battery cell technology other than 2170 and 4680. It is reported that new cells with a higher density--called 2170L--will be used for the builds. The source says that the battery pack will consist of three blocks arranged in a row, each of which is half the size of the Model S.
In addition, the source gave some details about the tests of the new Semi. He says two of them will undergo road tests. Another will be tested in cold weather conditions in Alaska. The fourth will undergo durability tests.
