I personally would call it the bare model rather than base model, because it’s literally bare. I think most people will end up spending minimum 25k to get it on par with base models of other regular vehicles.
Yeah I’m really curious to see the add-on prices. 150 miles of range sux, how much is the extended battery? How about power windows? A sound system? Easily can see it being $40k with those 3 things.
I think personally I’d be fine using a bluetooth box and I’m pretty sure that there could be cheap aftermarket solutions for the windows. With the battery I agree. And yeah Bezos isn’t really better than Musk.
Maybe I can be convinced otherwise but I don’t see how a Bluetooth box could beat surround sound of a car with a decent sound system. Particularly at freeway speeds when road noise gets loud.
At home I use a couple of Harman Kardon Onyx speakers. You can couple two of them to have an even better surround experience but already one of them sounds better than the sound systems I experienced in VW, Hyundai, Ford, Tesla and Smart during the last couple of years. It may look a bit ugly to have bluetooth speakers laying around with charging cables etc. but sound-wise I’d see absolutely no problem.
In general, I doubt that the majority of car buyers have significant audiophile requirements. Of course, most of them want to listen to music or audiobooks but a ‘good enough’ solution should be fine for most if it saves you hundreds or thousands of bucks.
On one hand, 20k for base model simplistic, non monstrosity of a truck? On the other hand, backed by bezos.
Fuck…

I’m no marketing guru, but the base model needs to be the blank slate. The next model up could be the clean slate

Also, don’t forget that in the event of a crash, those Bluetooth speakers would become Bluetooth missiles.
