These are rare for a reason. If you’ve ever driven a Beretta, you know.

Did anyone else hear about Telsa introducing a truck? I can’t find any mention of it anywhere online.

Simply pulling that lever a few millimeters rearward engages the electric latch, popping the door open.

That’s definitely built on a Hummer H2. The side proportions are practically identical. The early 2000's GM truck steering wheel hiding beneath that gaudy re-trim is also indicative.

It could just be the NISMO 51st anniversary extravaganza edition with 3 extra hp and a brand new sticker package- or some such nonsense. 

That’s what I thought.  Doesn’t look like a real test mule, just a normal car with some new parts.  Maybe a development vehicle for some new chassis parts or the like.  Yes an engine swap would be nice, and this might be such a car, but we are still talking about a 11 year old chassis.

I’m very skeptical. Something doesn’t look right.

Japanese styling.  German reliability.  They got it backwards.

Why is Cara Delevigne a thing in the first place? Who is asking for this? 

Why was SpaceSelfie a thing in the first place? Who was asking for this?

Who the fuck is Kimi Raikkonen and why the hell would I want to spend stupid money on a car he owned? CP

Excellent write up. Well done. Those of us who wrench our own cars truly know how much of a pain this can be. The upside is rolling around with a cool, maintained car and a sense of satisfaction/completion that can’t be purchased.

Is it unique and cool in some way? Sure. Is it remotely reasonable to consider as a reliable, relatively affordable year-round daily driver? Not a chance.

If he just wants a cool hobby car to start conversation and drive to the airport once in a while, great, but that’s not at all what he asked for.

The answer is always Volvo. Stately, luxurious, fast, reliable, AWD, well under budget, why wouldn’t you go with a V70R? Also, this is Jalopnik, what did you expect?

I mean, couldn’t *one* of you have given him a reasonable answer?  The only non-troll answer is the Acadia, and he literally said he had no use for an SUV.  I get that there’s a comedy element, but I thought there were supposed to be a few helpful suggestions?

Who knew those "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand" and "If you can read this, flip me over" stickers were that expensive?

Wait who is paying that much for insurance?!

My father fought in WW2. I don’t know how accurate this was, but his view was that scrap collection, victory gardens, and the like were a way to help keep people on the home front invested in the war, rather than a necessity. In other words, taking a part off your car wasn’t going to actually make more tanks, but…
