[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]320 miles for the extended range version isn't terrible. These trucks will be HEAVY.

230 miles for the normal version.

That is plenty of mileage for people who use them for work. And - let's get real - the first batch of these will be bought by rich people for driving around, not work. [/quote]

So then the realistic mileage is 275 & 190?

They are selling it as a power source. Power those tools?

Throw in some heavy equipment, a/c, and a 60 mile drive each way.

Could be cutting it close. [/quote]

This thing is for the site managers and above. More likely, it will be bought by lawyers, doctors, finance bros, tech bros.... I doubt see any construction worker buying one of these things to use on a job site and I really dont see anyone buying them as fleet vehicles [/quote]

Those are the same guys buying Model Xs.

So not really a game changer.

At least until it becomes more practical as a true work truck.

Most trucks sold in this price range are not work trucks- not many carpenters are lugging their equipment in the back of King Ranches. A lot of guys who think a Model X is a fancy minivan will buy these things. If it becomes acceptable as a truck, then it will be a game change. [/quote]

The lower end model meant for fleet vehicles (and will also be sold to consumers) is $40K at 230 miles range. That is totally fine for vast majority of daily job site driving. Look at all the tradesmen in DC every day - very few are driving more than 100 miles in a day. [/quote]

They won’t see 230 actual miles though. Real-world driving plus extra weight will drop the range.

And they can easily do 100 miles if they live far out and have to drive around to pick up parts or whatever.

It will be a game changer ad a work truck after they boost the range.
