Tesla intends to invest $3.6 billion in battery and electric semi-truck manufacturing in Sparks, expanding the company's presence and the clean energy industry in Nevada, the White House said Tuesday. The Sparks plant will ramp up production of the Tesla Semi, a Class 8 semi-truck entirely powered by electricity. CEO Elon Musk set a goal on its Q3 earnings call in October of producing 50,000 semis annually by 2024. Gov. Joe Lombardo (R-NV) and White House infrastructure chief Mitch Landrieu lauded the announcement as evidence of their respective administrations' strengths.
