# Tesla Semi: Price, Availability & Status (2026)

Tesla announced the Semi at $150,000 to $180,000 (2017). It ships to fleets like PepsiCo, is human-driven, and volume production is a 2026 claim.

## Price

- **$150,000 to $180,000** (manufacturer-target, one-time; as of 2017-11-16) · [Tesla Semi (announced pricing, 2017 reveal)](https://www.tesla.com/semi) · 2017-11-16

The figures above are Tesla's announced pricing from the 2017 reveal, not a confirmed current price: Tesla has not published updated consumer pricing for the Semi. Reservations took a deposit. DEPLOY tags this a manufacturer target to reflect that it is a stated reference, not a verified executable price.

## Availability

_Status: shipping-now_

The Semi is in commercial fleet use, in limited volume. Tesla has delivered to fleet customers since December 2022 (PepsiCo), but its volume-production target has repeatedly slipped, most recently to 2026. This is an enterprise fleet truck, not a consumer retail vehicle.

## Status

DEPLOY classifies the Semi's maturity as commercial: it is a battery-electric Class-8 truck operating in real fleets (PepsiCo since December 2022, with ArcBest and DHL pilots). It is human-driven, not autonomous: Tesla's autonomy roadmap is a claim only, with no verified L4, and Tesla removed FSD/Autopilot references from the Semi. The registry has no structured deployment records for the Semi yet; the fleet use is verified via the model's sources.
