Tesla Inc said that it would invest more than $3.6 billion to build two new factories in the US state of Nevada, including the first facility to mass produce its Semi electric heavy-duty truck.

The other factory will be dedicated to battery production and will have the capacity to make enough batteries for 2 million light-duty vehicles annually.

Together, the plants will employ about 3,000 people.
