Ah, the land of unfreedom and unopportunity.

If I wanted to buy a pyramid-shaped car with poor build quality, I’d buy a Tesla.

It wasn’t “$420 funding secured” or pedotweet?

I’m looking at this and wondering what a two door version would look like.

Sure. Let’s say there were 1 million people who would have bought a $40-60k electric truck in the next 3-5 years. You’ve alienated 90% of them with the design, so now your market is 100,000 people. That’s not great for Tesla.

Blind spots won’t matter, as this will only be driven by people with no eyes.

It’s paper. Seriously.

That only works on the short wheelbase Rivian. This truck is far too long for that to work.

They should also drop the sides around the bed a little.

Truckla is beautiful. I hope Simone does okay, brain cancer took a friend of mine earlier this year.

Look at the Model X reveal. I have no idea how things got so bad (Elon probably got mad and fired people / the talented ones left) but they actually used to be really good at this.

Watch the 2015 Model X presentation. He wasn’t great, but that was night and day better than this, and one of the reasons people thought Tesla was going to be the Apple of cars. Instead they’re turning out to be Atari.

I did a mental redesign with two simple tweaks. Take the bed walls away, so that it has a cab back. Then make the top of the roof flat. Suddenly this looks a lot less wrong.

You literally can. It’s called the base Toyota Hilux (which isn’t sold in the US, because of the Chicken Tax, but that’s beside the point).

Some things were never meant to be, like this toy and pyramid trucks.

Other comments:

I was wrong.

The car was so bad that Tesla’s lead designer came on stage and smashed the windows.

That would work, except for the fact that Panasonic is their battery supplier, and the companies aren’t exactly friendly right now.

Wow.
