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

    I drove past the Tesla factory in Austin this morning. The dead wank panzer on the freeway with cones around it. Directly in front of it. Speaks volumes about the future reliability of Teslas.
