Tesla Semi Is Heading To Europe With One Big Advantage—And One Major Weakness

• The facelifted Tesla Semi is officially heading to Europe.
• Tesla is apparently prioritizing the launch of the base, Standard Range model.
• With a smaller battery than the Long Range version, its range doesn’t keep up with the competition, but it has an ace up its sleeve.

The Tesla Semi is finally getting a European version, four years after the original version started roaming the streets of the United States. The Euro-spec Semi debuts today at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, but companies looking to get in on the action will have to wait a little longer to get their hands on the American-made truck.
