Partial text. Only these passages were published; [...] marks a gap.

It's time to go all out and bring the Tesla Semi to volume production. It's been in limited production so far, which has allowed us to improve many aspects of the design. [...] Production of the battery and powertrain would take place at Giga Nevada, with most of the other work probably occurring in other states. [...] Jerome and I are very excited to work with you to bring this amazing product to market!
