Elon verifierade även att teaser bilden är från fronten av pickupen.“It’s got to have incredible functionally from a load carrying standpoint, look amazing – but it won’t look like a normal truck. It’s going to look pretty sci-fi. That means that it’s not going to be for everyone- like if somebody just wants to have a truck that looks like trucks have looked like for the last 20 to 40 years, it’s probably isn’t for them.”
He anticipates that some people will think that “it doesn’t look like a truck.” Musk compared the disruptive design to the transition between the horse and carriage and the automobile.”
Högt satta mål med andra ord. Man blir minst sagt nyfiken på hur den kommer att se ut.“It’s going to be a truck that is more capable than other trucks. The goal is to be a better truck than a [Ford] F-150 in terms of truck-like functionality and be a better sports car than a standard [Porsche] 911. That’s the aspiration.”
Angående utgångspriset på $49000 så funderar jag på vad som krävs batteripacksmässigt. Rivians pickup kommer enligt nuvarande specifikationer att ha en räckvidd på ca 230 miles/38 mil i grundversionen där batteripacket är på 105 kWh. Teslas pickup kommer att se lite annorlunda ut, ska vi gissa på att den kanske blir lite lägre, mer strömlinjeformad. 90 kWh ?
