Tesla Semi electric truck European launch and specifications

Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirms plans to bring the Tesla Semi to Europe, with details on range, charging, and potential production at the Brandenburg factory.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has confirmed plans to bring the electric Semi truck to the European market. He indicated the model could arrive in Europe as early as next year, following the start of mass production in 2026.

The Tesla Semi will be offered in two versions: Standard Range and Long Range. The base model provides a range of 523 km at a gross vehicle weight of 37.2 tons, with a curb weight under 9.07 tons. Energy consumption is claimed at 1.1 kWh per km. The truck features three independent electric motors on the rear axles with a combined output of 800 kW (1,088 hp). It supports the MCS fast-charging standard, capable of reaching 60% charge in 30 minutes. An electric power take-off (ePTO) system is also included, delivering up to 25 kW.

The Long Range version offers an 805 km range, a curb weight of 10.43 tons, and the same 800 kW powertrain. Peak charging power reaches 1.2 MW.

Final prices have not been announced yet. Previously, the cost was expected to start around $150,000, but media reports suggest production versions could be priced at approximately $260,000 for the Standard Range and $300,000 for the Long Range.

The Semi has already been showcased in Europe at the IAA Transportation exhibition in Hanover. Musk noted that production for the EU could potentially be set up at Tesla's Brandenburg factory. In the heavy transport segment, electric solutions are gradually expanding their presence.
