What Does The Tesla Truck Design Say About America

Since I am moving to California this year, I would buy and use this vehicle.

-plenty of charging stations
-save a lot on the 5 dollar a gallon crazy months
-plenty of room, being 6’4.
-priced competitively
-enjoy dumb fun things like this thing’s design
-extra peace of mind for the wife and kids with safety since drivers in Cali are notoriously aggressive and ***quality (she utterly hates the thing though)

Definitely excited to do more research over the next few years and test drive one to see how it holds up.

at $40k~70k, and with a fuel cost and maintenance likely totaling 20~30% what you'd pay if you owned any other truck; that's a truck for anyone who won't go over its range in a work day as it'd probably take 2 hours to recharge at a supercharger station.
Also, only those who's use for a truck isn't impeded by the form factor.
If you have enough money in the bank to front-end your gas costs of your truck, will be ready to trade out the old bruiser in 3~5 years from now, and actually willing to be seen driving that PS1 graphics vehicle. It's the Truck for you.

The bullet proof windows bit ... they really laid on the dystopia bit quite hard in their release. The fact that someone shot a bullet into their own Tesla battery pack before, causing the whole thing to turn into a pyre might have something to do with the new truck being bullet proof.

Also it is quite possibly the ugliest truck I've ever seen.

I'm pretty sure it was designed by a 5 year old.

Reminds me of Homer designing a car:

Well, I don’t think some rich weirdo, with a villains name straight out of The Flash comic books, speaks for Americans...

To an outsider, it probably makes us looke like this:

I think saying that it's bulletproof speaks more to saying that rocks, shopping carts, etc... won't have a prayer at denting the panels.

I'll have to go back and watch the demo, but I thought they said the body panels were bulletproof, and they called the windows armor plated or something similar. I think they're supposed to be strong, but not bulletproof. But I'd have to watch it again.

Personally, I want the windows to be breakable. The last thing I want is to be trapped inside a vehicle.

There has been an uptick in violence in America these past few years, but we are still way below the levels of the late 80s through mid 90s.

So I don't think the armor is related to that. Eboneezer is probably right.

Its designed to be aerodynamic. People who buy trucks don't care about low MPG, but people who design electric vehicles do care about range.

I will agree about the ugly part.

Then why post in this section of the forums, if it isn't about politics or religion?

Nothing. A privately owned company releasing a gimmicky car has nothing to do with the state of society in America.

Okay, off topic a bit...but I was in London last year around this time, and the one thing I miss is all the Christmas Markets that pop-up, especially the mulled wine stalls. I remember a really good one around Southbank, walking from the London Eye over to the Tate Modern.

I'm interested, but what's it gonna cost me?

All cars are ugly, this one just is more ugly, Even more ugly then a Dacia Duster.
Tesla would make more mobey if they designed bycicles.

how do you figure?

I would buy a bike, but not a car? Its a personal preference, hate driving.

To the OP, isn’t there TWO different designs for the Tesla Truck?

One being the LEGO the other being an actual Truck people would want to buy?

no, there's just the ps1 graphics vehicle... and an atv.

Huh.. there’s literally tons of pictures at the first Google search, are they all fake? O_o; that’s most definitely a Truck..

Edit option gone? Oh well, moving on...

Was going to add that if that brick is indeed the only design for the Tesla Truck... ewww... it’s like you’re driving something from Starfox 64...
