Tesla batteries are already cheaper than $100/kWh at cell level, approaching that at pack level. So even a 200 kWh pack would not prevent a $49,000 price tag; the motors are assumed to cost less than $1000 each, there'd be more than $25,000 left for electronics and the body/structure.
Pulling a heavy load may half its 400 mile range, but it would not have to lose much time recharging at the right chargers. It would be able to take V3 supercharging at 250 kW until nearly full, and much more than that if even faster chargers come about.
