It had better be a lot cheaper than an F150.

Nobody who wants a truck for truck stuff is gonna put up with the downsides of electric and the NVH of a 60s panel van and 200mi range unless it costs much less than vehicles with equivalent performance.

The people who buy electric to make a statement about their preference in power sources are not the people who will buy a bare-bones truck.

I think you could have made the same statement about luxury vehicles before the Model S. Electric provides such a game changing increase in performance that people wont care about the downsides as much, so long as you can make it sexy.
