Tesla launches European-spec Semi with 550 km range
Tesla has launched a European-spec Semi based on its US Standard Range model, offering up to 550 km of range at a 40-tonne load and roughly 1 kWh/km consumption. The truck supports Tesla Megachargers using the MCS 3.2 standard with up to 800 kW peak power, which Tesla says can recover about 60% of range in 30 minutes, and it includes an ePTO providing up to 25 kW. European adaptations include side rearview cameras, a shorter wheelbase and omitted exterior fairing features to meet length rules, and deliveries are scheduled to begin in Europe next year.
