So I can reserve a truck for $1,500 and an ATV for $750. I know it's just the reservation fee, but it doesn't make any sense to me.

- exhilaration 10y agoBased on the fact that every image on the site is a digital rendering, I'm going to guess they need the reservation fees to actually build the first vehicles.
- TheBiv 10y agoYeah, definitely! That is also what's confusing about the reservation price. If I was a buyer of trucks on a fleet, you can be darn sure that I'm paying more than $1,500 to land a truck.
- kerryfalk 10y agoMany trucks are owned by the drivers and not part of a fleet. I don't know what the ratio is nationally but I can say locally it's probably in the range of 50%, maybe even more are owner-operators vs. company fleet. So this pricing model would make sense to target that market.
- daveguy 10y agoYup, someone saw the Tesla preorder numbers and thought "brilliant idea! we'll do the same!". I expect their pre-orders aren't going quite as well.
