Range is said to be 205 mi (330 km), higher than the original estimate. This price is for the basic truck. The SUV configuration is expected to be $5000 more.

The modular approach is very appealing to me, even though I have little use for a pickup truck. For example, I read that the SUV configuration moves the back glass to the end of the SUV shell when you install it. That makes the SUV top lighter and cheaper.

    Oh, that explains why the fastback is more expensive than the squareback. I'd been wondering about that.

    There must be a range difference. That's how I'll talk myself into the fastback, not just because it looks cooler.

    I'm torn because the fastback looks cooler but it has less cargo capacity (both inside and on the roof rack).

    Then again, I also really like the "open air kit" which apparently requires the squareback, so maybe the decision would be easy.
