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.

Slightly more than $24,950, so likely less than $30,000

Yeah, leaving the destination charge unknown for this announcement leaves a lot of uncertainty.

Ford's $30,000 EV truck is supposed to be here fairly soon as well, although it looks like that will only be available as a crew cab, sadly.

But it will be a real vehicle made by a real company with things like a ‘radio’

I put a deposit down on one when they were first announced. But that was when its price was competitive with cheap used EVs. Then accepting the stripped down bare bones truck made sense. This is too close to new EV pricing. Bolt, Leaf, Ford EV are all within range of this, especially with an option or two to make it livable. Plus at $25k you’re now competing with very clean used examples of the Hyundai triplets and mustang Mach e.

Best of luck, Slate, but to me the truck doesn’t justify its price.

no screens!? I'm sold. would be perfect for me to have a little around town truck like this. but it will be $80,000 by the time I can actually buy one. and I'm sure it tracks everything you do and everywhere you go.

I wonder if Aging Wheels will be able to get a hold of one of these for review.

I sure hope so. Maybe he can do a collab with Technology Connections about it?
