150 miles of range is pretty terrible, especially when it's winter and you have a load in the back. Suddenly that's 70 miles of range.

I get that it's a bargain price, so that's the tradeoff. But a pretty bad one.

I expect an extra battery option will be a thing.

From the ars article:

The truck will come with a choice of two battery packs: a 57.2 kWh battery pack with rear-wheel drive and a target range of 150 miles and an 84.3 kWh battery pack with a target of 240 miles (386 km).
