Tesla semi costs $150k for 300 mile range and $180k for 500 mile range. https://www.tesla.com/semi

Production starts sometime in 2021 with scale production probably in 2022.

Production of Semi was supposed to start this year. According to Musk it was delayed because Tesla is still starved for batteries (a single semi consumes the same amount of cells as 10-20 Model 3 cars)

Cell bottleneck will be solved with the new battery production system recently demonstrated at battery day.

Thanks, for some reason I thought it was still a concept project and didn't chase details down. I forget entirely that they'd done a full unveil which inevitably (for Tesla) includes price announcements and pre-orders.
