Ref: Tesla plans $3.6 bln Nevada expansion to make Semi truck, battery cells | Reuters
Breaking news 24th Jan 2023. Tesla plans $3.6 B Nevada Expansion to Make Semi Trucks and Battery Cells.
Extract: "Jan 24 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) said on Tuesday it would invest more than $3.6 billion to expand its Nevada Gigafactory complex with two new factories, one to mass produce its long-delayed Semi electric truck and the other to make its new 4680 battery cell.
The cell plant would be able to make enough batteries for 2 million light-duty vehicles annually, including batteries using the 4680-type cell. The 4680 is key to Tesla meeting a goal of halving battery costs and ramping up battery production nearly 100-fold by 2030."

Does that mean the the Semi will be using the 4680 battery cells? What about other vehicles? Is there a confirmed list of Tesla vehicles that will be using the 4680 cells?
