Well, with the C7 production now a distant memory, they really are hemmed in on price range. I’m with Lutz. No more than a $5K bump on the “Base” car, which at 500HP in a mid-engine format will be formidable. The nutso versions will be well over $120K, but the “base” version suits me just fine.

Your take is correct. Price is everything.
My guess? The only thing that’s new is the engine placement.
The price isn’t going to go drastically up just because the engine is moving back. This is GM, they don’t have to make money on base Corvettes, because they can easily sell an Escalade ESV Platinum for nothing but profit margins. If the base Corvette sells for much more than $70k I’ll be fucking shocked.
I saw the tire lineup on the thumbnail and knew immediately it was a worthless video.
I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. The main issue with ultra high performance summer tires is that they suck in any kind of cold weather because of the specific compound they use. But they are just fine with warm, rainy condition, provided they have adequate treads.

To be honest what people buy and sell something for 3rd party is none of the 1st parties business.
The second line she says: “And more specifically, I really want a Tesla pickup.”
...how would the range be affected by anything more than the change in aero. How. It most likely weighs less, just has a bit more drag. How in the world does it drop down from “good range?”
Rich Rebuilds has a great youtube video “The Ugly Truth... “on the many under or un estimated costs of ICE to BEV conversion. Its much more than you think. Tens of thousands. Basically, he concludes it cheaper to buy a new Tesla. And in spite of the headlines and misinformation to the contrary, you can buy the Basic…
Tell that to all the modern pickup trucks with touch screens in them.
The idea wasn’t to build an electric pickup truck, it was to build a Tesla pickup truck. No way to do that except starting with a Tesla. And she did a freaking amazing job.
Cheaper maybe, but WAY more work.
Of course they didn’t cut corners.
Just the roof.
statistics are sexist, Iguess.
Actually it does matter what powers the vehicle.
