Tesla Pickup

[oxoman]

There's a clip of one of these against a big yank ford pick-up and apart from getting stuck in the mud, the bloke literally pulled it apart whilst trying to do the same to the does and failing.

One of the main thing putting me off anything Tesla
apart from the price
the boss
and the aura around them

if that they seem to have all the controls on a touch screen
which - to my mind - is just dangerous as it tempts you to take you eyes off the road to press a button

on "proper cars" you can find it by feel as it is on a specific button - and not just on a flat screen

My current car has a few things like that - and I find it a real problem to use those features

On a related factoid more, the reason the Volvo 740 was so flat panelled and angular was to save money on the tooling.

I like it because it's different. You may call it ugly, but if there is a good looking EV out there I've yet to see it.

It's a bit like Camo trousers - it suits some people if you can get away with that look. But a huge tank-thing on the driveway of someone who dresses like Prince William looks a bit silly I think. However, some EVs do look really nice. Like the Polestar2. Even the new Ford Capri EV does look fairly nice, if nothing like the traditioal OG capri

I suppose if they painted it and gave it a new bodyshell, 🤔

Being different on its own isnt all its cracked up to be. Just ask John Merrick or Janet Street-Porter.

I had read that the lack of demand meant that the unsold vehicles were being parked hither and thither, some even in the huge shopping centre car parks that they have over there. Fortunately it seems that SpaceX had a sudden need to purchase 1000 of them, with possibly a further 1000 to follow...

Ugliest car since the Pontiac Aztec, at least the Aztec was in one of the greatest TV shows ever made. All the Tesla Cybertruck is famous for is being owned by right wing lunatics.

You're forgetting the Fiat Warthog

It looks like a haemorrhoid, but uglier.

And not as comfortable.

Looks like a death trap

That's because it is a death trap

I think Tesla were inspired by Top Gears Hammerhead Eagle i Thrust (AKA Geoff)

Even the truck loving muricans dont like them, sales tumbed to barely 20,000 last year.

Meanwhile Ford sold 828,000F series pickups, Chevrolet 577,000 Silverados, Dodge 374,000 Rams, GMC 384,000 Sierra's, Toyota 274,000 Tacoma's. Theyre buying anything but Cybertrucks, which seem a horrific waste of time, cash and resources for the firm.

Indeed, the 3 and Y are now the only cars they manufacture, with speculation they'll eventually fall by the wayside as the company moves to manufacturing robots.

Like Nokia, they set things rolling and hit the crest of the wave...but seem about the fall off their metaphorical surf board.
