Tesla's soon-to-be-unveiled pickup truck will have a starting price of less than $50,000
"It just can't be unaffordable," Musk said of the truck during an interview on the Ride the Lightning podcast.That price would undercut the trucks that electric truck maker Rivian plans to offer next year. The starting price of those trucks is expected to be just under $70,000. Ford is investing $500 million in Rivian and Amazon led a group of investors putting $700 million into the Michigan-based company.
In March, Tesla released this"teaser" image showing the front end of the truck.Musk did not say to which version of the F-150 he was comparing the Tesla. There are many. Ford F-150 prices vary enormously from $30,000 for a simple work truck to more than $70,000 for roomy, luxurious trucks with powerful engines. Ford has also said it will make its own all-electric version of the F-150.
