, neither of which has fully materialized yet. What if you are a business owner, you understand Tesla's rather loose interpretation of timelines and you still want to fork over some cash to get in line for the Big T's biggest chungus? The process for doing so is not unlike the one for the Roadster. First, you pay a deposit via credit card -- $5,000 in this case -- and then you need to arrange a wire transfer to Tesla for $15,000 within 10 days of making the initial payment. If you want more than one Semi, you have to wire $20,000 for each additional vehicle. These deposits are refundable until you sign an actual purchase agreement. Now, it seems safe to assume, based on Tesla's track record, that if or when it does put out a production electric Semi, it'll be a fairly big deal and have the potential to at least partially upend the trucking industry. We get the appeal, but given that the model debuted in 2017, with a promised on-sale date of 2019, and it's now almost halfway through 2022, we'd suggest potential purchasers not bet their business on seeing their Semis anytime soon.
