Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.



You can get a flatbed pickup for $25k if it’s not brand new. And it does the job just as well as whatever this thing is.
So what? Should no basic, inexpensive vehicles be produced because you could get a nicer or more capable used one for a similar price?
Also, this one is electric. Sans the Cybertruck, there aren’t too many electric pickups out there, and probably not many on the used vehicle market.
