    If he was shooting for under $50k, there's no way it'll cost $150k.

    Then it better appeal to a large variety of truck buyers, fleets and others. A radical design is not going to fly in the mass truck market. I see this as more of a game changer than any product they have made unless they screw it up which would not be a surprise. Fingers crossed when I'm there.

    Consumers and fleet are not mutually exclusive, small trucks are bout in mass numbers by utilities, cities, etc. This makes up huge numbers of sales and the highest demand for EVs. If they don't appeal to the general truck buyer they won't appeal to the market which needs them the most. It will be pretty clear how this Truck will do and how much actual production will be necessary.

    Contention in the ohmhome:

    wohmman: I am actually interested in seeing this truck reveal tomorrow.
    ohmman: Yeah, should be cool.
    wohmman: If we can get a longer range on the camper, it will probably make a lot of sense.
    ohmman: Yep. We can replace your Model X with it.
    wohmman: No, we'd replace your S.
    ohmman: But we tow with the X, and we'd be getting a new tow vehicle...
    wohmman: I'm keeping the X. If you want the truck, you'll be replacing the S.
    ohmman: Oh, man!

    You've got to admire the switch in emphasis:

    Simple solution is to be "interested", but don't go as far as "wanting".

    You're welcome.

    We had a related discussion in our house. I was thinking that if the Truck had sufficient range we could retire our diesel Grand Cherokee and go all electric. Mrs. Strider said we are absolutely keeping the Jeep since it costs us nothing and sometimes we want a vehicle that we don't care about. So then it came down to whether it would replace the S or the Roadster. I thought she would want to keep her S but I was surprised when she said that depending on how big it was, styling, etc that she liked sitting higher and that the truck could become our family vehicle.

    So while we're excited to see the reveal tomorrow, we still have 3 years to decide which vehicle it will replace.

    My WAG is that the answer is yes, but in a 3-motor Model S and/or Roadster, not the truck.
