When will Tesla Semi have self-driving?

Q1052 answers2025-2026
Short answer

An autonomous Semi matters because of the trucker shortage and for safety, but Semi volume is still tiny, so FSD work stays on Model 3, Y and Cybercab for the next six months. He expects Semi self-driving around the end of 2026 or early 2027, in time for high production.
