Tesla has officially begun mass production of its Semi truck, albeit at a price 60% higher than originally announced, while Elon Musk announced a doubling of AI chip orders for xAI through year-end. This dual development reinforces the demand for both EV logistics infrastructure and AI compute hardware. The Semi's higher pricing suggests margin resilience but may limit near-term volume adoption, while the xAI chip orders provide a direct bullish catalyst for semiconductor manufacturers supplying custom AI silicon.
