Tesla has announced its European debut of the Semi electric truck, with demonstrations set to begin in the first half of 2027 and customer deliveries expected by the end of the same year. The company's head of the Semi, Dan Priestley, made this announcement at the IAA Transportation 2026. The European Semi trucks will be manufactured at Tesla's Reno, Nevada plant and will be rated at 550 kilometers of usable range and 1 kilowatt-hour per kilometer consumption for a gross combination weight of 88,185 pounds.
The truck will accept 800 kilowatts of charge, which can recover more than 60% of its range in 30 minutes. The European Semi shares the same technology as the North American version, but with adjustments for European homologation, including different lighting requirements, a tachograph, and trailer interface. It features three axles, two of which are driven, allowing for highway cruise and power delivery.
The truck's design is aimed at urban environments, with a forward center seating position and wraparound glass. Tesla has also rolled out its Megacharger rollout in Europe, with over 100 stalls equipped with the Megawatt Charging System. However, Tesla has not announced a European long-range model for the Semi.
