Just noticed this on their website, looks nice!

Diecast 1:24 Scale Tesla Semi

Very cool but I'd rather have half a HPWC for that price.

They couldn’t throw in a plastic trailer for the $250 price tag?

They don’t make the trailer part - yet.

Wow, I thought they were going to update the Semi design to be compatible with EU truck standards. If they're releasing these, that certainly implies the NA Semi design is pretty solid. They'll likely make a different truck for the EU then, obviously later.

Should have made it 1:18 like the other models!

I was thinking the same thing. Make it so if you have the collection... then it's all the same scale ratio!

BUT....

For $320CAD.... yea.... no thanks.

Another dumb move... why make a toy Semi when you haven’t made the toy Roadster 2.0 yet??

What are the EU standards that need to be addressed?

They’re completely different than NA

 

[McFlurri]

They’re completely different than NA

In what way?

 

[Kuhz]

They’re completely different than NA

How so? Nothing that can be easily modified or redone? Im genuinely curious.

Plenty on YouTube as well. Fundamentally, the EU regulates total vehicle length, leading to shorter tractors, whereas the US regulates trailer length.

So then wouldn't the smaller version of the semi still be compliant? (The one we've seen in matt grey)

I’m no expert but I thought the matte black tractor was just lower height, not shorted in length.

$250 LOL

Does it matter which half?

 

[Boourns]

Does it matter which half?

The inside half.

I actually bought one. Not sure why. I might have had a few drinks that night. Detail is nice though.
