For the entire vehicle or $50K to boost the mileage from 300 miles to 500 miles? Like redpoint5 said, a 500 mile pickup is likely a $100,000 vehicle.

If is the key word there. No one outside of Tesla has confirmed Tesla's claim that their semi will go 500 miles, at highway speeds, loaded to 80,000 lbs. Tesla officially pushed out start of production on the Semi.
