Tesla is quoting customers $290,000 for the 500-mile Long Range version of the Tesla Semi, Electrek has learned.

The $290,000 price point represents a significant increase from the original $180,000, roughly 60% higher. However, it’s still well below the industry average for class 8 electric semi trucks. CARB data shows the average cost of a zero-emission Class 8 truck was $435,000 in 2024, meaning Tesla is undercutting competitors by about $145,000

Standard Range: 325 miles at 82,000 lbs, curb weight under 20,000 lbs
Long Range: 500 miles, curb weight 23,000 lbs, 1.2 MW peak charging

      In total, these heavy trucks now have a EU+EWR market share of about 2%.

      Heavy trucks over 16 tonnes dominate the EU market by volume. Out of approximately 254,488 total registrations (-5.4% year-on-year), 4,991 were battery-electric trucks, representing a 2% share. – electrive.com
