The cost advantage of building one-off structures on such a platform are huge.

A comparison between the Tesla Model S, Tesla Cybertruck, and Porsche Taycan was created in an infographic shared by Twitter user Serious Callers Only. The comparison shows the difference not just in price range for these three electric vehicles, but also range and acceleration. It shows that the Cybertruck is the lowest priced of the three.

The Tesla Cybertruck Isn’t A Pickup — It’s Much, Much More
Prior to its new “Pickup Truck” unveil on Thursday night, Tesla had built up an impressive amount of anticipation across Tesla fanatics and the car industry alike.
Speculation was rampant. Actual knowledge of the truck’s details, however, was bone dry.
