I took that as an estimate. There's a tendency to underestimate the cost of products that aren't in production to generate interest.

Depends on the tech inside, but I can't see it under $100K in reality.

They would qualify for a subsidy, right? Probably would help the cost.

That standard 60kWh battery is about useless, especially for a truck like that, due to the range.

Especially if you plan on taking that truck down some trails.

But he and his team didn't stop there. The B1 even bucks low-tech comforts. There are no power windows; instead, there’s a lever on each one that you can squeeze to slide them open or closed. The air vents are spartan, too. They sit on top of the dash and are pocked with holes, like the vented barrel of a machine gun. Get too cold or too hot, and you can just twist the cylinder to turn the air away from you..

Think that may be a tough sell, depending on price.

It's something that will not be for the soccer mom crowd for sure.
