Tesla has updated its dedicated webpage for the all-electric Semi truck, without announcing the changes officially, as is typical. Here’s a brief explanation: In the US, the Semi falls into the Class 8 truck category, with a maximum permissible gross vehicle weight of up to 80,000 lbs (approximately 36.3 tonnes). The European Commission has initiated a standardisation process to increase the permissible gross vehicle weight across Europe to 44 tonnes, compared to 40 tonnes for diesel vehicles. Tesla began production of the first Semi units in the US in October 2022. According to the report, government documents suggest that the Tesla Semi will be sold at a regular price of around 260,000 US dollars (Standard Range) or 300,000 US dollars (Long Range).
