I did the calculation back in May when this article [0] came out and recalled the rough numbers correctly for my home (they changed the calculator on their web site, now only talks about the value of electricity the roof would produce). The quote from the article is: "The average home in the United States is 2,467 square feet. According to Tesla’s handy solar calculator, the new system will set an average homeowner back $51,200 for a 70% solar roof. The company also recommends purchasing the additional, but optional, Powerwall battery to store all that new energy at $7,000, bringing the grand total of installation to $58,200." My roof is much larger than the average (2,750 livable + roof over garage) because mine is a ranch and the average includes 2-story homes which will have much smaller roof area for the same home square footage. So it's quite reasonable to get from an average cost of $58,200 to $75,000 for my specific home.
