![slide2](https://capedge.com/proxy/8-K/0001628280-22-027421/q32022shareholderletter1002.jpg)
Dear Shareholders, Autonomous driving is a long journey. Making real progress every day is what matters. Real progress is not about repeating the same intermediary successes but making strides forward in the right direction towards the end-goal: safe & efficient driver-out fleet operations. With that in mind, we focus on and prioritize depth over breadth. During Q3, we continued to invest on safety-related processes and protocols and began to combine our test and revenue fleet operations and signed leases on two new terminals in Texas that will provide the capacity needed as we focus on increasing routes and taking advantage of high-density lanes in the Texas Triangle. We also expanded our presence in Tucson, key to expanding our internal capabilities. Following our December 2021 Driver Out technological proof point, TuSimple is proud to again lead the industry as we work to demonstrate the commercial viability of our AFN. For the remainder of this year and throughout 2023, we intend to complete our truck upgrade program and focus on initial commercialization: hauling freight primarily autonomously for our customers while also contributing to our technology development and reducing our cost per mile. 2 TuSimple Letter to Shareholders Highlights ▪ Announced senior leadership changes ▪ Continued focus on safety, announcing 3rd party audits ▪ Expanded AFN in Texas with two new terminals ▪ Powered Europe’s first fully autonomous transport of commercial goods ▪ Continued upgrading the hardware of our trucks to improve reliability ▪ Expanded Tucson operations, enabling us to increase our truck upgrade capacity as well as design and test proprietary components ▪ Combined testing and revenue fleet to offer one cohesive mode of operation ▪ Surpassed 9 million autonomous miles during the quarter, another major industry milestone Long-Journey - TuSimple Continues to Prepare for Commercialization 2

3 Our Focus Areas | Safety Partnering with Independent Auditors for Assessing Autonomous Truck Testing Standards TuSimple is partnering with multiple independent auditors to verify our safety practices, processes, and design approaches. These industry-recognized auditors will verify aspects of our technology and operations from a safety perspective. Example focus areas include our driver hiring and training process, our training procedures for test engineers, our on-road autonomous driver-in testing procedures, and audits to assess our software's level of safety for driving on public roads. Safety Analysis at TuSimple Autonomous vehicles have the opportunity to be one of the most significant improvements in transportation safety ever, with the potential to save thousands of lives every year1. Getting to that point requires safe operations and safe technology development. Exhaustively finding and fixing potential safety issues is critical to maturing this technology. TuSimple deploys layers of verification and safety measures to identify, capture, and track issues through safe resolution. The goal is to catch all safety-related items at the earliest point possible in the design, verification, and testing process. For a more in-depth review of how TuSimple identifies and resolves safety issues, see our blog post dated October 12th, 2022. (1) https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813110

The following collaboration with Scania in Europe exemplifies our focus on bringing tangible value-add longer- term success. Powering Europe’s First Fully Autonomous Transport of Commercial Goods During the third quarter, in what is a first for Europe, our partner Scania announced a pilot using a fully autonomous vehicle to transport commercial goods in regular traffic conditions between logistic hubs. The pilot consists of a three-hour journey of ~300km between Södertälje to Jönköping with the first and last mile being handled by manually driven vehicles. This pilot is the result of ~62,000 km of autonomous testing, two years of hard work by 80+ TuSimple engineers and collaboration with our partners at Traton Group including brands Scania and MAN Trucks & Buses to bring autonomous transportation to Europe. At TuSimple, we are passionate about bringing safe and efficient autonomous transportation to the global stage. Our Focus Areas | Partnerships 4 We continue to expand our presence in Texas, most recently by signing leases for two additional AFN terminals: South Dallas and San Antonio. These terminals will serve as the start and end points on our AFN, provide bundled maintenance services to support commercialization, and provide a continuously operational access point for our customers. Building out our dedicated terminal network in Texas is an important step to prepare for the expansion of our operations as it allows us significant capacity in a very strategic geography and specifically works to serve our customers’ needs. In South Dallas, we have signed a lease on a 10-acre plot, securing a phase one development for operations in Q1, 2023. In early October, we signed a lease for a 11-acre plot of improved land in San Antonio, allowing for quicker occupation of the space. We are also in discussions to sublease parking spots to a nearby logistics company, helping to offset costs. With the addition of these two terminals, we have the capacity to support operations in the Texas Triangle. We now have seven terminals with three full-service terminals in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Tucson. We have coverage and a path forward to scale in the Texas Triangle when the safety case is validated.

Our Focus Areas | Partnership (Cont’d) To achieve our end-goal, we need to make real progress not only with AI algorithms controlling autonomous trucks, but also with the development of the overall software, hardware, infrastructure, and operational processes that make it a complete product offering. Technology: Upgrading Hardware to Ensure Efficiency, Safety and Reliability in the Long-Term As mentioned last quarter, throughout the rest of 2022 and into 2023, we are upgrading our trucks to ensure the consistency of our entire fleet. Every truck in the fleet will be equipped with the most advanced hardware and the most updated version of our proprietary software. This requires temporarily setting aside trucks from the fleet to undergo a careful upgrade process with the expectation that we will complete the entire upgrade by the end of 2023. The upgrades will result in a more ruggedized and reliable autonomous system, which is a key requirement in removing the support vehicles, integrating into commercial customer networks, and providing a substantial opportunity to scale further and reduce our cost per mile. Truck reliability is mission-critical for TuSimple, as integrating into any of our partner’s commercial networks requires reliability first and foremost.

Technology: Our Patent Portfolio Continues to Expand with Valuable Proprietary Technology In Q3, our industry-leading1 commercial vehicle AV patent portfolio expanded by over 25 new patents issued. Our patent portfolio is focused on technology designed specifically for autonomous trucking and included over 470 granted patents at the end of Q3. New patents granted this quarter include protections for essential autonomous trucking technologies. For example, we were awarded a patent covering autonomous trucking technology capable of communicating with and passing through a restricted area, such as a warehouse, distribution center, or port. This patent grant further demonstrates our expertise in developing efficient autonomous trucking operations, even in complex infrastructures with access restricted areas. Another of our patent grants covers techniques for sensing the weight distribution of a trucking load. This allows an autonomous truck to adjust driving behavior in real time based on weight distribution, resulting in safer, more efficient autonomous freight transportation. Yet another of our recent granted patents covers first responder type interactions with an autonomous truck, allowing for safe and authenticated responses by emergency personnel to unexpected events such as accidents or roadside inspections. Lastly, we received a patent on technology for safely restarting autonomy for an autonomous truck after, for example, pulling over on the side of a road. These are only select examples of our recent patent grants, which cover solutions for improving efficiency and safety of autonomous trucking operations. We have also continued to create important intellectual property for other technologies, which we aim to protect via trade secrets. To achieve our end-goal, we need to make real progress not only with AI algorithms controlling autonomous trucks, but also with the development of the overall software, hardware, infrastructure, and operational processes that make it a complete product offering. Steady Progress in Core Initiatives 8 (1) To our knowledge, when compared to trucking focused companies, no other company has originated more granted patents related to autonomous commercial trucks than TuSimple.

Infrastructure: Expanding our Tucson Facility In October, we held a grand opening for the new building at our existing Tucson facility. We were excited to showcase the facility and honored to have many industry and government representatives, including Governor Ducey, join us for the event. The additional building adds 40,000 sq ft to our Tucson operations. It is a key component in our ability to upgrade and ultimately increase the size of our fleet. The expansion also supports our increasing capabilities in engineering and testing. For example, we now have over 100 hardware engineers and technicians that enable us to design automotive-grade components. We have added development labs devoted to Electronics, Sensors, System Integration, Wiring, and Mechanical Engineering. And to ensure that our autonomous systems last for many years on the road, we have added testing capability that allows us to conduct environmental (hot/cold/vibration) and electromagnetic compatibility testing. All of these provide us with the ability to design around any supply chain issues quickly while improving the technology and quality of those parts, which is crucial. Operations: Combining our Revenue and Test Fleets This quarter, we began combining our revenue and testing fleets into one autonomous operations group, with an effort to upgrade the hardware as well. To achieve our end-goal, efficient driver-out fleet operations, it is important to ensure every revenue mile also help develop our product and achieve the longer-term strategic impact. Our goal is to have one cohesive mode of operation, giving customers real-time visibility into the coupled progress of both technology and commercialization. Our focus for the next couple of years is generating revenue miles that contribute to validating the technology and business model by continuing to reduce our cost-per-mile. We will uphold the key principle of depth over breadth in our network operation. We choose to operate on key lanes in the Texas Triangle with high operational density. Revenue miles might be less in the shorter term due to hardware upgrades and focus on designing a better operating model for commercialization. Still, each mile will contribute in a much more meaningful way: they will not only generate revenue in dollars but also improve the product and deliver longer- term value. Cost-per-mile would be an important KPI in the future as we continue to prioritize efficiency improvements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures TuSimple has not reconciled its expectations for non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA because the stock-based compensation expense excluded from such items cannot be reasonably calculated or predicated at this time. The effect of the excluded stock-based compensation may be significant. TuSimple believes the non-GAAP measures calculated herein provide meaningful information to assist investors in understanding financial results and assessing prospects for future performance as they provide a better baseline for analyzing the ongoing performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these mea sures with other companies’ non- GAAP measures having the same or similar names. Thus, TuSimple’s non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or in isolation from, the company’s GAAP results. TuSimple encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single finan cial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.

TuSimple Non-GAAP Financial Measure The following table (in millions of dollars) reconciles reported loss from operations determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA. TuSimple believes that this non-GAAP measure provides meaningful information to assist investors in understanding financial results and assessing prospects for future performance as it provides a useful baseline for analyzing the ongoing performance of its business by excluding items that may not be indicative of core operating results. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare this measure with other companies’ non-GAAP measures having the same or similar names. TuSimple encourages investors and others to review its financial information in its entirety, not to rely on any single financial measure, and to view its non-GAAP measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures.
