Tesla confirmed that its Semi electric truck is coming to Europe, and that it will reveal the specs and launch details next month at IAA Transportation, the continent’s largest commercial vehicle show.

The Tesla Semi account posted that “specs & launch details for Semi in Europe” will be “unveiled at IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany,” which runs September 15-20. A Semi will be on display at the show.

The announcement is short on detail by design. Tesla isn’t giving European range figures, pricing, or an on-sale date yet. It’s committing to bring the truck to Hannover and put numbers on the board there.

Tesla has been publicly gearing up to sell the Semi in Europe since last year, and at IAA 2024 it brought a truck but said almost nothing about an actual market plan. This time it’s framing Hannover as the launch venue, which is the clearest signal yet that Europe is happening rather than being perpetually “coming.”

What Europe will get, at least mechanically, is the truck Tesla is already building in Nevada. Tesla revealed final specs in February for two trims: a Standard Range rated at 325 miles (523 km) and a Long Range at 500 miles (800 km). Both run an 800-kW tri-motor drivetrain rated at 1,072 hp and charge at up to 1.2-MW Megacharger speeds.

Tesla is quoting $290,000 for the Long Range Semi and roughly $260,000 for the Standard Range in the US — the lowest-priced Class 8 battery-electric tractor on that market.
