Of the 100 or so options available at launch, 33 percent cost under $100, 50 percent are under $250, and 80 percent are under $500.
It just looks like they're going to nickel and dime people for every little thing. Car meets DLC.
Something about this vehicle not mentioned: Because of the easily replaced plastic panels, insurance should be a lot less expensive.
But of course, meth heads are going to start stealing panels now.
Not much of a turnaround on plastic, but worth a shot I guess.
If they sell enough trucks for meth heads to profit in the grey market by stealing the plastic panels, that's a huge win
