Option costs

In lieu of a configurator yet I am wondering likely costs for the options. For example the large battery is 30kWh larger than the standard battery and at a cost of $100-125 per kWh I expect this will be a $5,000 option. For the SUV conversion I would think a similar cost since on the Jeep the plastic cover is over $1000 and the roll bar and seats are needed to be added. Other thoughts?

The battery upgrade cost will be the dealbreaker for me in terms of whether I spring for anything further. Hopefully they'll realize that a low bare bones cost doesn't really mean anything if they immediately stick it to you regarding the #1 pure functionality item. I just want a bare bones electric truck at $20K and not much more.

All we can discuss is what we have been told. The Battery and the SUV flatpack are the two things that can be make it or break it expensive, the aftermarket can make pretty much make everything else at a fair market price.

If the base price changes down the road, then that's another matter.

I had read that the expanded battery would also be available after the fact and not just from the factory.(perhaps the author was confused) Assuming that is true, I wonder how that works. Would I have to pay for the ~80kWh and the upgrader keeps the ~53kWh battery or is this going to be more modular? i.e. if you purchase the extended range module after the fact they add a ~30kWh module to the existing ~53kWh pack? Also, on the price of the expanded battery. When I bought my Leaf in 2022 it was a 40kWh pack, to upgrade to the 60kWh pack was $7000 extra. That was over 3 years ago but I like the $5k price for 30kWh better than Nissan's per kWh valuation.
