Tesla Semi’s official battery capacity leaked by California regulators

A California regulatory filing just confirmed the exact battery size inside each Tesla Semi variant.

www.teslarati.com

A regulatory filing published by the California Air Resources Board in April 2026 has put official numbers on what Tesla Semi owners and fleet buyers have long wanted confirmed: the exact battery capacities of both the Long Range and Standard Range Semi truck variants. CARB is California’s independent air quality regulator, and it certifies zero-emission powertrains before they can be sold or operated in the state. When a manufacturer submits a vehicle for certification, the resulting executive order becomes a public document, making it one of the most reliable sources for confirmed production specs on any EV.

The document lists two certified powertrain configurations. The Long Range Semi carries a usable battery capacity of 822 kWh, while the Standard Range version comes in at 548 kWh. Both use lithium-ion NCMA chemistry and share the same peak and steady-state motor output ratings of 800 kW and 525 kW respectively. Cross-referencing Tesla’s published efficiency figure of approximately 1.7 kWh per mile under full load, the 822 kWh pack supports roughly 480 miles of real-world range, which aligns closely with Tesla’s advertised 500-mile figure for the Long Range trim. The 548 kWh Standard Range pack works out to approximately 320 miles, again consistent with Tesla’s stated 325-mile target.

Here is a direct comparison of the two versions based on the CARB filing and published specs:

Tesla Semi Spec	Long Range	Standard Range
Battery Capacity	822 kWh	548 kWh
Battery Chemistry	NCMA Li-Ion	NCMA Li-Ion
Peak Motor Power	800 kW	525 kW
Estimated Range	~500 miles	~325 miles
Efficiency	~1.7 kWh/mile	~1.7 kWh/mile
Est. Price	~$290,000	~$260,000
GVW Rating	82,000 lbs	82,000 lbs

Tesla Model 3 Crosses Canada on FSD With Zero Interventions After 3,760 Miles | EV

Tesla Model 3 Crosses Canada on FSD With Zero Interventions After 3,760 Miles​

A three-man team has driven a Tesla Model 3 across Canada from coast to coast on the company’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software without a single intervention, the group said Friday, in what it billed as a world first.

David Moss, Devin Olsen and Spencer ended the crossing at Tesla‘s store in Dartmouth, in metropolitan Halifax, Nova Scotia.

The run began at the Horseshoe Bay terminal in Vancouver, British Columbia and it covered 3,760 miles (6,051 kilometres) over four days and 21 hours.

Moss called it “the world’s first Canada coast to coast fully autonomous drive” in a post on X.

The vehicle ran Tesla FSD version 14.3.3 throughout, and the team reported zero disengagements of any kind, including for parking and at Tesla Superchargers.

A public tracker that logged the trip in real time supported the claim, recording 3,760 self-driving miles, zero manual miles, and a 100% self-driving rate when the car parked.

The Team Behind the Drive​

Moss led the trip alongside Devin Olsen and Spencer. Olsen livestreamed parts of the drive on his YouTube channel as the car worked east.

Moss, a Model 3 owner from Tacoma, Washington, has become one of the most visible advocates for Tesla‘s camera-only approach to autonomy.

The advocacy carries an irony, since Moss sells LiDAR for a living as a 3D solutions manager at Stonex USA — the sensing technology Tesla has rejected in favor of cameras alone.

The drive was backed by sponsors including EVject and TesCam Studio, with the team selling commemorative merchandise online.

The Final Stretch​

The team posted frequent updates through the last day as the finish neared.

Moss checked in from Lincoln, New Brunswick, with fewer than 500 miles to go, identifying the car as a 2025 Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive Premium.

By the final evening, only two Supercharger stops remained.

The team charged at a Tesla Supercharger in Aulac, New Brunswick, then at another in Enfield, Nova Scotia, before stopping overnight in Enfield.

They set out the next morning for the short final leg into the Halifax area, completing the crossing on Friday.

The Route and the Car​

The route ran across the breadth of the country.

It crossed British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick before finishing in Nova Scotia.

The car was Moss’s 2025 Model 3, a Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive Premium running Tesla‘s AI4 hardware.

The live tracker was built on the FSD database maintained by Tesla owner and content creator Omar Qazi, who posts as @WholeMars.

A Sequel to the US Record​

The Canada run follows the drive that made Moss a fixture in the Tesla community.

On the last day of 2025, he claimed the first zero-intervention coast-to-coast drive across the US.

That trip covered 2,732 miles from the Tesla Diner in Los Angeles to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in two days and 20 hours on FSD version 14.2.

The announcement reached about 16 million people on X and drew recognition from Tesla‘s leadership.

Ashok Elluswamy, Tesla‘s VP of AI software, called it the “World’s first fully autonomous coast-to-coast drive, done with Tesla self-driving v14.”

Chief Executive Elon Musk reposted it with the caption “cool,” and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy described it as the first fully autonomous coast-to-coast drive on FSD V14.2.

The US crossing was part of a longer streak of 12,961 intervention-free miles across 30 states, which ended in January on snow-covered roads in rural Wisconsin.

Tesla later featured the trip as an official customer story in March.

What Canada Adds​

At 3,760 miles, the route in Canada ran more than 1,000 miles longer than the US crossing.

The drive has also pushed FSD across a wider range of conditions and a newer software build, version 14.3.3, against the 14.2 release that handled the December drive.

With the crossing done, Moss has already turned to the next target, asking followers where the team should attempt to drive next.

Tesla Exec​

Max Zeger, Tesla‘s director of charging for North America, shared the announcement on X.

“Trans-Canada Supercharger route opened in 2019 and now driven coast-to-coast autonomously with FSD,” Zeger wrote, congratulating the team.

The drive leaned on that Supercharger network, which Tesla opened across Canada in 2019 to link the country from coast to coast.
