I’m sure this truck will never see the light of day. I think Faraday Future has a better chance of actually releasing a production vehicle.

That looks like an Isuzu Vehicross with a Tesla nose grafted onto it. 

There’s video of them taking journalists and top-knots on rides around Tesla’s facility, and to leave the corral area the truck has to turn around - the radius didn’t look that bad, actually. No worse than I’d expect from an F-150. 

As they pull out of the corral area and drive towards the street, I think Simone’s Model 3 Ute is parked along the side!

Not the first time a tech mogul has ended up with broken windows on stage during a big reveal...

It’s “unpainted” because it’s bare stainless steel and that’s the only color it comes in.

I can’t see them offering one more expensive than what Rivian has proposed, but otherwise I think you’re right that the “eventual” sub-$50k model may not materialize and the first editions will probably be somewhere in the $75-80k range. Which, really, isn’t all that nuts for a full size EV pickup when you compare it…

For Tesla, I think I want to see a truck that isn’t some crazy off-putting, whack job design but instead something that looks futuristic but also somewhat restrained and beautiful, much like the Model S was when it was revealed. It needs to be something that will appeal to a very large group of buyers, not just people…

You could probably wrap your fridge in whatever color you want. Like a nice matte blue! 

I have a 2.0 Stelvio with no issues either.

Verde Visconti has been available on the Stelvio for a year or two, and it looks GREAT. Especially with the yellow calipers. (With red calipers, I think it just looks like a giant Christmas-mobile).

I really think moving Chad Knaus to another car/driver combo was the beginning of the end. Jimmie is super talented, but it’s been proven time and again that a talented driver alone isn’t enough. A steady, stable, high-powered driver/crew chief pairing can really dominate. Jimmie and Chad together were a very powerful…

Or a password in a more complicated format, allegedly more secure, that is on a Post It note taped to their keyboard. 

Looks okay in photos, interior layout seems decent. I’m sure after three years things will have worn out far too quickly and really easy, basic stuff to get right will be broken (shift release button, seat lever, things like that).

Nice try, those are all the same picture. You can’t fool me!

No, you’re not alone. My wife had an Altima on lease a few years ago and it was great at being just a regular car. Seats were some of the most comfortable I’ve ever found in a car, mileage was great, handling was good for what it was. I’d happily drive one every day if I had a commute.

It’s only one step away from literally just being a barrel full of crackers. 

I have a Stelvio so I’m a little biased, but it’s pretty damn faithful to Alfa’s heritage. It handles better than any car I’ve ever owned, and better than any CUV/SUV should. The steering is quick and light, and it rips through the gears easily too. And mine’s not even the Quadrifoglio!

I like this a lot and I hope it mostly stays the same for production, except I wish manufacturers would stop trying to reinvent the door handle, and would make the screen look/feel more integrated into the dash instead of tacking it on like some awful aftermarket add-on. (See: Volvo or Ram for how to do a big screen…

Cool, thanks for the info. I can see the price of the Niro being a deterrent. Having a cheaper ICE vehicle in that size class should help them, then.
