$70k for 14k towing and 3500 payload, this will be interesting to see how much they lose on capital tooling. The production model won’t be as chiseled and they should step back to design for manufacturability.

electric trucks are going to be a tough sell. 300 mile range, then if lucky a 45 min to hour charge time. put a trailer on the truck that range drops to what 150 - 200?. when I'm pulling my travel trailer, heading to a destination more than 300 miles away, I don't think sitting around an hour at a time charging my truck will be something I'd really want. make a rapid charger, 15 minutes, then maybe but for now, I'll keep my big fat giant carbon foot print.

Not sure how functional any of it is. It looks like something a neighbor might home built if he was devoid of any styling talent. My first impression was ' you're kidding me right?' Looks like a highschool metal shop project.

Would have to park it down the street and put on a disguise to drive it. So ugly it hurts the eyes.

That company would NEVER get a dime of my money if i can help it.

The reveal video where he broke The unbreakable windows was hilarious

Remember someone once telling me that not everything that comes from a a Genius is always Genius.
Sometimes, it's just plain ****, which needs flushed.

It’s a good idea poorly implemented and looks completely ugly.

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

(pre-emptive apologies to any Tesla drivers) …..and yet, I guarantee people will buy it because it says "Tesla" on it. Of course, that demographic doesn't know what a truck is anyway.

Total P O S on four wheels range is like nothing before your stuck in the road. I think you can get 200 miles that is what Ive read so far. so you can only go 100 miles and 100 needed in power to come back to point (A)
