If you don’t need a truck bed

it will leave less than 3’ of bed space, and take only $16K for the trouble
How do you figure you lose 3 feet of bed??? If the bed is 6ft, and the tweet says it takes up 1/3rd of the bed, that would be 2 ft. This still leaves you with 4ft of bed by my math.

I am hoping it is something that can be easily removed and can just be put in the CT bed in preparation for long trips. I like your thought process that it could also maybe serve other uses like a powerwall.
Most likely not. Why you think the payload went down?! Plastic bed instead of stainless steel bed.

Agreed. I'd even say somewhere between 30-40%.
So, I'm slogging through 28 pages of posts in less than 24 hours. I am searching for the reason behind the pricing. At (rounded) $80k and $100k, the chart below shows that you eliminate 70% of the public as potential consumers. Drop the price 10-15K and you add another 32% of the population. So, maybe, the pricing is to minimize the order/delivery ratio for the first year or two, and then a reduction helps maintain a full reservation log?

yep same one, but we get 1,350 off- probably because the cars cost more in Canada

I got mine yesterday, but trying to cancel my preorder. They have an old card on file and just trying to get someone on the phone has been impossible which is reaffirming my decision lol.

I read: "Powerwall is 250lbs and 14 kWh so a toolbox size would be 500-700lbs."

I calc'd: 43 kWh = (440-320)/2.79

14 kWh * 3 = 42 kWh and
250 lbs * 3 = 750 lbs

Remaining Tesla CT payload estimation ? :
1750 lbs = 2500 lbs - 750 lbs
I meant Silverado EV has only 1300lb payload.

Battery is battery, if you want more range, the truck has to carry more batteries. I feel GM and RAM are in the wrong direction to put 200kWh battery in a 8500lb truck with only 1300lb payload (or even less).

I see my charge was on 11/25, according to my statement. Sorry if I misunderstood your original question. I got an email about a 1000 dollar deposit with a link to design yours, perhaps thats what went out to everyone. I saw the new pricing and immediately knew it wasnt happening for me. Even if they had the original pricing I probably was screwed because I bought a fixer upper a few years ago and all my money goes to this damn house now.

- The link just takes me to the main site, so I dont think this is what you were referring to.

Horses for courses tho? Are there towers or campers/hunters/etc that would gladly get along with 1300-1750 lbs of payload? Certainly IMO

Do you think GM/RAM would address those drivers and charge $20k more or mass drivers?
