Why would Tesla make "cheap" ? That's not their customer base.

Cheap hackable electric work truck (I imagine chassis with basic cabin that you can expand in various ways, like the EU van options have like half a dozen chassis) would be great but it's not something Tesla ever wants to make

Isn't "hackable electric work truck" a bit of an oxymoron?

Just because the big batteries are so dangerous?

Who are their customer base? Musk seems to have decided to fire his actual customer base, but getting a new one more ideologically aligned with him hasn't quite worked out.
