Elon Musk Says the Tesla Pickup Has to Start at Less Than $50,000

He also said it has to be better than an F-150 at truck things, and interestingly, it also has to be a better sports car than the Porsche 911. Just going to say it, but achieving both of those things in one vehicle seems extremely improbable.

I do not see how a $50,000 Tesla pickup would be possible. Google says the X costs $82,000, so if they just converted that to a pickup, it would be 62% higher than what Elon said, which should not surprise anyone.
The X may be faster than a 911, but it still costs $82,000. Can the X do 90% of truck things as well as an F-150?
I can see it being faster in a straight line and more useful as a truck--for $100,000 or more.
This is Tesla, potentially much more.
Favorite comment: "50K in Elon dollars is 80-90K."
A 2020 Porsche 911 costs $113,300.
Dang! It weighs 3,500 pounds!
Someone shared a rendering of an S converted into a pickup:
If a Ford Ranchero is a pickup.
How much extra for the lift kit?
Many comments say "Batteries not included" or "The bed is extra."
What will they call it? Ford trademarked both "Lightning" and "Model-T."
