Honestly since there is no motor requiring a long hood, maybe move the driver and dash forward, make the windshield a bit more vertical and give the passengers more room or the truck more carrying capacity. Think 1947 Ford COE

Oh, so now you want us to be world police.

China?  Because they have 4x the emissions of the US based on 2017 reports at least.

looks great. Until you scrape the shit out of it on a rock and get the bill for repairs.

How do so little people see the value of those dumb flat steel panels on the cybertruck ? Do none of you gearheads have the stuff needed to patch or remake flat panels home for 100th the price of any modern body repair ?

Didn’t Tango and Cash Drive that thing?

I’m not a pickup person, but that has a serious level of badass to it.  I could see that having a niche.  It looks so much better that the Tesla wedgie.

THIS would also make a better Tesla pickup. Some California EV startup, Neuron, just released photos of it.

Sure, that sounds great in theory, but.....

MB does it too.

Here’s a lukewarm take: This is what they should have done in the beginning. Offer decent, above average performance and decent luxury (read American) at a decent price. Not gobsmacking performance and decent luxury (and build quality (shhh.)) at gobsmacking (read German) prices.

Cadillac’s naming scheme makes my head hurt. Not to mention losing all the equity tied to the names people have gotten used to.

this illustration is perfect.

Good writeup. Especially the “What’s weak”. The second I saw a rear photo of the car, I hoped you’d mention it.

This reminds me of how Mercedes richest customers often buy an E class wagon instead of an S class

There are a lot of very wealthy people whose wealth you would never know based on their choice of automobile.

and 419 want to buy it used.
