The Tesla Semi will be shown in France for the first time this week. Organisers of Connect Trucks 2026 say the European-spec electric tractor will appear at the event in Deauville on Nov. 3 and 4.
Who is presenting it
Jean-William Dubal, Tesla's Semi business development manager for France, announced on LinkedIn that Tesla will be «presenting the Semi in France for the first time at Connect Trucks 2026». TeslaNorth and EVWire both reported the post.
Why it matters
Connect Trucks is a two-day congress for fleet and road-transport professionals, now in its fifth edition. EVWire says it is organised by the trade publication Décision Poids Lourd. Its roundtables cover who pays to decarbonise trucking and whether low-emission long-haul transport is realistic by 2030. TeslaNorth says the listed participants include La Poste, Lidl and Danone. The French stop follows Tesla's Semi Charging for Business rollout in France and other European markets.
What to watch
Look for any European order announcements or pilot customers in France after the show. None have been announced so far.
