  I'm questioning if this 61k model will ever see the light of day. It's also not going to ship before 2025, and lots of things will happen by then. The 2025 promise means nothing, only the models that'll ship in the coming 3-4 months matter.

  So it actually starts at 80k (74k with tax incentives, if they apply), and has 300 miles of range, but which in real world circumstances will likely be more like 150-200 miles of range considering the purpose of a pickup truck (drive uphill/downhill with load, in diverse weather, off road, etc.), and the fact that you get this "brand new" performance only for a few months before the car sort of settles into 85%-90% of its range.

  Plus Tesla always inflates their EPA range.
