Primary market sales of full-size pickups, the United States, in the year it sold more than 2 million of these machines. And in this market there is a fierce competition between the leaders of the sector: Ford, General Motors and Fiat owned Chrysler brand Ram. The average price per vehicle — $ 50,000. Electropica Rivian more expensive than 69,000 dollars. What place in this business is a Tesla?
"I Have no idea about how the market will look like pickups on the motors. Who will buy them? Will it be those who bought Ford F-150, Ram vans, and Chevrolet Silverado for work tasks? Or perhaps buyers will be those who wish to acquire a truck, but do not want to mess with gasoline or diesel engine to his car just to assert his high status?", — does not hide the confusion Michelle Krebs, senior analyst of the consulting firm Autotrader from Detroit.
Exchange expert Tony Sacconaghi of the management company Sanford C. Bernstein & Co says that, unlike previous Tesla products, forecasts on production volumes a new pickup manufacturer carefully crafted.
