Pretty disappointed at the $30,000 prince increase on the AWD.  I am priced out. May buy a model Y or a base Lightning.

I think a lot of people will be priced out. This definitely isn’t the $40K truck that was teased to get preorders. I think these prices will likely deter a lot of resellers too. I am glad to see an extended range option but if it takes up bed space that is probably not a realistic option. You can see a bunch of accessories that Tesla is offering using the below link.

At $65k for the AWD, $15k over original I would have made the stretch and bought it.  but I can get a lightning for $5k under MSRP so $48k... and then get the federal credit bringing it to $41k plus tax.  Or a Model Y for $44k and then the credit off of that.  Tesla is not dumb... they will probably sell all they can make for a while (a year) at those prices, then they may start to lower the price later.  Maybe in 2025 the AWD will be $69k - the federal credit making it affordable to a lot more people.
