Tesla Semi

BAMF – the future of electric trucking

[Tesla Semi @tesla_semi]

Tesla was selected as the primary OEM for the largest electric Class 8 order in the US by ZET SCALE, a new shippers’ alliance

With 2,500 Semis on order, this will double the entire US electric Class 8 fleet

We’re serious about scale, and ZET SCALE is too!

Top Gear tours factory & rides in production Semi w/ @danWpriestley

"Maybe the most significant Tesla since the Model 3"

At 1.7 kWh/mi, Semi is using only ~7× as much energy as a Model Y, at ~20× the weight.

A comparable diesel is using ~3× as much as Semi

Semi is quick

[Nic Cruz Patane @niccruzpatane]

Tesla told Top Gear that the Semi can do 0-60 mph without a trailer in just 12.5 seconds.

With a fully loaded trailer, it will do it in 24 seconds. Those are pretty insane numbers considering a Diesel Semi takes ~60 seconds to get to 60 mph with a full load.

Lowering the cost to deploy Megacharging

[Tesla Charging @TeslaCharging]

We're ready to support the Semi ramp.

First pre-assembled Megachargers deployed. Each unit is a V4 cabinet with 2 posts, up to 1.2 MW per post.

The European Tesla Semi pulling in at the IAA TRANSPORTATION 2026 in Hanover, Germany!

– Up to 550km range at 40T (fully charged)

– 1 kWh/km of energy consumption

– Megacharger up to 800 kW recovers ~60% of the range in 30 minutes

– ePTO up to 25kW

– 40T gross weight combined, 9,100 kg weight

Good details about the European version of the Tesla Semi:

• Truck has 10 cameras with full 360° view
• No traditional side mirror. Cameras only.
• No front light bar due to local regulations (this was expected). Similar headlight setup to the base Model Y.
• European cab is the same length and width as the US version
• Uses aerodynamic-truck regulation exemption so it can run regular European trailers
• Marker lights moved from the top of the truck for regulations
• Cab roof height was adjusted slightly to match European trailer heights
• Added an interior emergency escape ladder for tip-over situations
• Tesla has a CCS2 to MCS adapter so the MCS-only Semi can charge on existing CCS2 sites while they build out their Megacharger network
• Seat movement is controlled from the screen, similar to Model Y Standard and Cybercab.

Tesla officially unveiled the European version of their Semi last week:
• Range: 550 km (~342 miles)
• Energy consumption: 1.0 kWh/km (1.61 kWh/mile)
• Fast charging: Up to 60% of range in 30 mins
• Drive power: Up to 800 kW
• Curb weight: <9,100 kg (<20,000 lbs)
• Gross vehicle weight: 40 metric tons
• ePTO (electric power take-off): Up to 25 kW

European deliveries start in 2027.

Here's a look at the seating controls on the screen of the Tesla Semi European version.

Here is a look at one of the two user screens of the Tesla Semi in Europe.

You can really use it for all operations around the truck, from the lighting (including back of the cab!) to the latch, from the suspension level to the tire pressures.

And ofc seat and window controls

Der Tesla Semi für Europa ist da. 🇪🇺

Ich stand heute auf der IAA Transportation endlich direkt davor und auf Bildern kommt überhaupt nicht rüber, wie gewaltig dieses Ding ist.

Noch spannender sind aber die Details, die man auf den ersten Blick gar nicht sieht: 4680-Akku, drei Motoren, auskuppelbare Torque-Achse, bis zu 800 kW Ladeleistung – und selbst der Scheibenwischer wurde für weniger Windgeräusche optimiert. 😄

Charge your Tesla Semi 😉

[Jaan of EVwire.com ⚡ @TheEVuniverse]

Here is your first full walkaround of the two European Tesla Semis in Hannover, Germany.

Also had a quick chat with @danWpriestley and the team.

I'll also link everything I'm learning about @tesla_semi today, all the details and interior shots, in the thread🧵:

Here is the one and only Dan Priestley @danWpriestley driving the real Tesla Semi European version in Hannover, Germany.

Welcome to Europe, @tesla_semi!

Fuel providers in Europe are taking charging seriously, which is awesome.

Semi Charging for Business is now live in Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, UK & France. We plan on offering it in every country where we operate Megachargers.

If you’re investing in Semi Charging, do it with the best hardware, software & service. We walk the talk. It's the same stack we use ourselves. Our power electronics already deliver 2 TWh/quarter (#1 in the world) and sites we opened a decade ago only have gotten better over time.

It's not for everyone as we don't offer expensive, questionable customizations. We often have to protect companies from themselves so customers don’t suffer. Improvements apply to all charging products, immediately. This happens daily!

TESLA: 38 year trucking veteran choses the Tesla Semi over Peterbilt. The turning radius was his favorite feature. Plu after years of diesel enginees, his hearing is bad so the silence is so much nicer.
