Tesla Posts European Semi Specs: 550 km Range, 800 kW Charging

Tesla finally put European Semi numbers on paper. On September 11, 2026, Tesla Europe published specs ahead of IAA Transportation (September 15–20, Hannover). Electrek’s rundown is blunt: up to 550 km range at 40 tonnes fully loaded, 1 kWh/km energy use, and Megacharger charging up to 800 kW—about 60% range in 30 minutes. EU price and on-sale date: still missing.

The European spec sheet

Beyond range and charging, Electrek lists ePTO up to 25 kW, a 40-tonne GCW, and a 9,100 kg curb weight. Those figures matter for fleet planners who need regulatory GCW and weight budgets before they care about keynote range claims. The 800 kW Megacharger peak is the headline recovery number; the 30-minute ~60% range recovery is the operational one.

Electrek also notes that 550 km at full European load, plus the published curb weight, looks closer to a standard-range pack than Tesla’s US Long Range claim of 500 miles (805 km). In other words: do not paste the US brochure onto a Hannover booth and call it done.

What is still unknown

No European pricing. No European delivery date. That is the entire commercial hole for Rocks’ Tesla planet readers who actually buy trucks. IAA week (September 15–20) is the obvious place for Tesla to add color—or to keep the teaser looping while US Long Range marketing stays louder than EU paperwork.

For operators comparing battery-electric tractors, the useful checklist from this drop is concrete: 550 km / 40 t, 1 kWh/km, 800 kW Megacharger, 25 kW ePTO, 9,100 kg curb, 40-tonne GCW. Everything else is still “ask sales after Hannover.”

Rocks take

This is a fresh Electrek-sourced truck story with hard EU numbers—not another Cybercab rumor cycle. Treat the US 805 km Long Range figure as a separate SKU claim until Tesla Europe publishes a matching long-range rating. Photograph the booth placards at IAA if you need more than a website PDF.

Fleet buyers should also separate peak Megacharger marketing from depot reality: 800 kW is the published ceiling, and ~60% range in 30 minutes is the recovery claim Electrek relays from Tesla Europe’s sheet. Your site power, queueing, and trailer configs will decide whether that math survives a real route. Until Tesla posts an EU price and on-sale window, treat September 11 as a specification drop ahead of IAA—not a purchase green light.
