Tesla is holding Semi delivery event at Giga Nevada on December 1
Tesla hasn't done a vehicle dedicated event for a while - we've been living off AI Day and Battery Day events and the occasional Rodeo. That's finally about to change as the company is holding a delivery event, highlighting the importance of its Semi.
Tesla unveiling events used to be a regular thing, the company would organize an event when it was launching new cars, new products or even new services. It hasn’t done it in a while and its announcement that it is holding a delivery event for Semi truck on December 1 caused some stir on the Internet:

The event is open to Tesla’s shareholders and those who want to attend need to register via the Tesla Shareholder Platform and a draw will follow with each share giving one entry in that draw. The lucky participants will be invited to Giga Nevada to take part in what will be a huge event.
It has taken Tesla a long time to deliver its first Semi but the trucks are here and Pepsi will be the first company taking deliveries. This moment was five years in the making and Tesla is not going to let it pass unnoticed. The company will finally release more technical details about the trucks, we will have some actual numbers beyond the 300 and 500 miles of quoted range.
The orders for Semi stopped a while back, there were no updates on the pricing either, we have probably 100 questions about the truck and the technology that it is built on but we’ll have to wait two more weeks to get the answers.
If you want to attend the Semi delivery event as a retail shareholder, please make sure you have a verified shareholder status on our IR website (unverified manual submissions are eligible if the paperwork is correct). We'll be doing a random draw where 1 share = 1 entry. https://t.co/odL8a0t43L

Knowing Tesla though, the Semi won’t be the only vehicle on the show. There will be updates on Cybertruck and even maybe an update on the Roadster - after all Semi and Roadster were both unveiled together back in 2017.
It’s been a while since we had a Tesla event that doesn’t involve robots, AI or flamethrowers and it’s good to see the Semi finally on the road. Now all Tesla has to do is ramp up the production - it will be a while before the company gets to 100,000 trucks per year, the next year’s target of 50,000 trucks is ambitious. A lot of work and no time to spare.
