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.

Something about this vehicle not mentioned: Because of the easily replaced plastic panels, insurance should be a lot less expensive.

But of course, meth heads are going to start stealing panels now.

If they sell enough trucks for meth heads to profit in the grey market by stealing the plastic panels, that's a huge win
