No $40k truck, but $61k is $51.6k in 2019 dollars, so pretty reasonable price and specs.

- addicted 3y agoThat’s the estimated price for delivery in 2025. Things could change by then. Also, we’re talking about a new industry here because of which a lot of costs are also likely facing downwards pressure (so, for example, batteries are almost certainly cheaper today than they were 4-5 years ago). Edit: This has caught me by surprise but EV battery prices seem to have started going up in constant dollars. It’s still lower than in 2019, so the nominal dollars are probably slightly lower than 2019, but I haven’t been following this for a few years and assumed battery prices were still going down in constant dollars. https://www.statista.com/statistics/883118/global-lithium-ion-battery-pack-costs/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/883118/global-lithium-io...

- sonicanatidae 3y agoYeah, but service takes weeks to months, body panels may or may not align, and I'm 173% positive that hardware that was paid for, will be put behind a subscription wall, just like the rest of the Tesla fleet. While I'm not a fan of this truck, Tesla remains the issue.
