Nach Verzögerungen: Tesla will Elektro-Lastwagen auch in Europa verkaufen
Teslas Elektro-Sattelschlepper wurde bereits 2017 vorgestellt - und wird erst seit diesem Jahr in etwas größeren Stückzahlen gebaut. Nun plant der von Elon Musk geführte Autobauer den Start in Europa.
Tesla plans to introduce its long-delayed electric semi-truck to the European market, according to announcements made via the platform X by Elon Musk, the CEO of the company. The details of the Tesla Semi's launch and its technical specifications are expected to be revealed at the upcoming IAA Nutzfahrzeuge exhibition in Hannover from September 15th to 20th.
A press day is scheduled for September 14th. The semi-truck was first unveiled in 2017 and had been previously slated for production in 2019. However, Tesla has repeatedly delayed the launch, citing the urgent need for batteries in other vehicles like the popular Model 3. Production started in April 2022 at a facility in Nevada, USA, where the first Teslas were delivered to customers such as the beverage and snack company PepsiCo.
The Tesla Semi is estimated to have a range of up to 800 kilometers on a single battery charge. In Europe, the semi-truck would compete with existing alternatives from European manufacturers. Tesla also displayed the Semi at the IAA Nutzfahrzeuge exhibition two years ago.
