Doesn’t look big enough to haul anything with, why are they calling it a truck?

I suppose it’s a truck like an El Camino or Ranchero is a ‘truck’...............

Except...it’s not a truck.

More like a fast, electric hummvee.

After seeing the armor glass shatter in the demo, twice, I think I would forego any offers to ride in his space ships.

You know the armored glass broke during the demo, right? And the adaptive suspension wouldn’t adapt.

And no comments on how much the mileage drops when carrying a full load or towing a heavy trailer.

Or how much the long charge time costs a business- to have an asset sit there (down time essentially) until charged.

Ridiculous looking and quite ugly.

People will still buy it just to brag about owning a Tesla pickup. It serves more the purpose of Jewelry than it does as an actual useful truck.

500 miles! Well, that means if I make my mother move 350 miles further east, I can get to my sister’s place in just 2 DAYS, rather than the 16 HOURS it takes me in my liquid fueled vehicles.

I also wonder if I could get 2 yards of gravel in its bed.

I’ll stick with my diesel p/u thanks. It does look pretty ‘80’s, too. Charge up those flux capacitors Marty...
