I wouldn't know, as we've owned Teslas for almost 4 years, and only once have had any service done, back in 2019 (Raleigh SC did give me a Model S loaner when the one day service turned into two days). Most reliable cars we've ever owned...

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

Unless the truck needs to be in the shop, it returns to the terminal at the end of the day. The terminal is where the truck gets the goods for delivery and where it drops off the goods from pickup. During the day, the driver may take a rest for 30-60 minutes, and this is the only time the truck is parked somewhere that doesn’t have a company-operated charger. An hour of charging at 24kW doesn’t beat 0kW in a meaningful way for a 900-kwh battery. In fact, I doubt any AC charger will be of any realistic use for the Tesla Semi.
I picture the truck having it's own cord and plugging into something like this:
PIN & SLEEVE FEMALE RECEPTACLE 100AMP 125/250VAC 3P 4W IP67 WATERTIGHT
PIN & SLEEVE FEMALE RECEPTACLE 100AMP 125/250VAC 3P 4W IP67 WATERTIGHT

Yeah… no.I picture the truck having it's own cord and plugging into something like this:
PIN & SLEEVE FEMALE RECEPTACLE 100AMP 125/250VAC 3P 4W IP67 WATERTIGHT
PIN & SLEEVE FEMALE RECEPTACLE 100AMP 125/250VAC 3P 4W IP67 WATERTIGHT
Tesla isn’t shipping a special Mobile Charger with the Semi or for the semi. Pretty sure it would be plugging into Destination Chargers with some kind of adaptor or just relying on the MegaChargers for all charging.

Tesla versions are confusing, but when Omar says it’s v11.3 I’m inclined to believe.
Sawyer and “Not a Tesla App” agree as well. Can’t get much better sources than that.

I can compare my 2016 Mobileye V1 autopilot based Model S with my wife’s V3 autopilot Model 3 we bought in 2019. IIRC it took more than a year before the V3 autopilot was as comfortable as the V1. And it didn’t improve a lot after that. Keep in mind this is a European model, and we have very little of the US FSD (beta) in our builds. The only thing that is better in our V3 versus our V1 is the traffic light recognition, but I consider that a minor feature.
We always travel (this is when we use autopilot the most) in our old Model S, because the free supercharging and active suspension beats the Model 3’s longer range, faster charging speed and somewhat more capable autopilot.
Waiting for a price decrease on the Model S in Europe (to bring it more in line with the US) to order a new Model S.

FSD Beta 11.31. contains a rollup of fixes for the NHTSGee:
Whole Mars Catalog on Twitter: "Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta recall changes!! https://t.co/YlM79FAlp1" / Twitter
... and just in case you forgot (or had any doubt), Tesla includes this friendly reminder in the RELEASE NOTES for FSD Beta v11.3.1
Let's be careful out their people, and...
LFG!!

Clearly there isn’t any reason to do CKD (Complete Knocked Down) without major financial incentives. For that reason such approaches are used, often less than “complete “ for everything from fighters, airliners, refrigerators to trains and automobiles ;Planes, Trains and Automobiles, without the humor).
Highly qualified and highly competent engineers here say “no way”.
They forget market access duties and local suppliers.
This will happen within the next couple of years. Logical candidates are ones with established industries and suppliers. Thus India, Indonesia and Brazil are likely to end out with some form of this fairly soon.
If Saab Gipen, Boeing etc can do it Tesla can do it again, they did it once.
Obviously that's the case today. Such a 100A plug is much easier and cheaper to install than DC fast chargers. Many trucks may need AC charging extremely rarely, but others may benefit from it frequently.

Wow. What have I done to deserve that reply exactly?. I've owned a Tesla since 2015, and stock since 2013, and have a sizeable 7 figure long term holding, but if I dare to ask a genuine question about what is being reported regarding inventory, I get this?
This is the investor forum, not the blind obedience and faith forum. IF tesla has a problem shifting cars in Europe as an INVESTOR I think we should be able to discuss it like grown ups.
If its so absolutely blindingly obvious that such numbers are inaccurate, a simple pasting of a reliable source indicating this would be sufficient. Or are you politeness challenged?

I find your guessing and made up stories disingenuous.
You have no idea who is or is not turning on FSD Beta, where it’s being turned on, or how attentive those users are being. Indeed, it’s been suggested, rumored, and flogged in media and safety regulatory body circles that FSD Beta causes ‘untrained’ drivers to become complacent and mercilessly ram into stationary objects and children.
You know who does know? Tesla.

Stop it. There aren’t even plenty of vehicles with AP1 that exist. There certainly aren’t plenty of people.
The lies people tell themselves and others to support their POV continue to be hilariously ridiculous. What a refreshing change it would be if people just stuck to facts without inserting their own color. Alas, I won’t hold my breath.
This is about the dumbest FUD I've heard to date... "US investigates", right...
Edit: two complaints received, two... how many MY sold and this warrants an investigation?
