To get 500 miles of range in a pickup is probably going to take around 160kwh.
Thats if you can get 3.2 miles per kwh and I think that is being very optimistic. The nissan leaf is rated for 2.9 miles per kwh, but almost everyone gets more than that.
Right now a battery like that would cost at least $20,000.
But the tesla truck has one thing going for it, people don't seem to mind buying a 60, 70 or even 80 thousand dollar new pickups these days.
