Late 2021, I believe.

Exactly. This is great for the consumer.

Should cause other manufacturers to step up their game bc this thing kicks other trucks arse in every spec.

Exactly


I got the go ahead from the wife finally today to reserve this truck. And somehow even she was excited to watch the live stream. 1 second after we saw it, nope. No thanks on reserving, don't want it.

At worst this may make the other truck makers price more competitively


Even with the absurd specs that shite on the Rams and F150s, I just don't see this truck putting much of a dent and disrupting this market.

I will just have to see it to believe it. This truck feels more like a novelty truck, the complete opposite of what Elon plans for this truck to be.

I don't get it. All the other Tesla vehicles look slick, then this thing comes out looking like origami.

I'm hoping they end up making some "subtle" changes before it starts production in a couple years.

Short of going electric, I'm not sure there is much they can do to compete with these specs.

This truck looks like every truck I and my 2 boys(both 8 years old) drew as a kid.

That's not good.

He said he wanted to do something completely different bc all trucks look alike and took inspiration from blade runner.

Everything he's been saying for a long time now, this should not have been a surprise.

And yet, IMO it's so ugly that I'm still in complete shock.

That is nice and all, but those vehicles fly.

If this thing flew, the body would be cool as shite.

As a vehicle that rolls on the ground, it’s ugly as frick.

How are you the only person defending how that thing looks?

I also feel like we're really not talking enough about the fact that they threw ball bearings at both windows, and they actually broke, and Elon had to complete the presentation with 2 huge broken windows right behind him.



And with that, I'm off to bed...totally letdown.

I don’t hate the looks. But would it be surprising if the looks are toned down before actual production starts?

imo, yes it would be.

I think this is it, this is the truck they're stuck with.

I think there is a slight chance that this thing will grow on me a little bit in the next couple years, but I really wish it looked better already. I'm hoping they take some constructive criticism and tweak it a good bit, but I'm afraid the the overall style won't change much.

Hard lines aren't awful, but these are just too hard. The body panels are stainless and 3X thicker than typical body panels, so I guess it's not exactly easy to form to curvier shapes. And if they're not willing to compromise on the "bulletproof" aspect, I'm not sure how much they could soften the styling.

Cheaper and specs wise, better.

But it just looks hideous.
Its storage space is only slightly more than a full size SUV.

I mean people buy Ridgelines so I guess there are people who like ugly trucks.

Why make it look stupid?

These cars would be more appealing if they looked good.
