That looks like it would be a badass trail runner aka Ford Raptor.
“It’s going to have incredible functionally from a load carrying standpoint, look amazing – but it won’t look like a normal truck.
I don't see anyone trading in a dual wheel diesel(for that toy) when it comes to actually hauling and or pulling ANYTHING.
Flat bed version in the works?

I’d be more than happy to drive one. But my 4 banger Tacoma 4x4 from 2000 ain’t going nowhere.

That thing is badass...I’ll bet it’ll hold at least 4 bags of groceries.

It looks like it could go places but certainly shouldn't be labeled as an actual hauler/puller type work truck.
You could chase cows with it.

That version is certainly different from the first.
Rodeo cowboys might like that....

It needs a voice activated control so you can say 'find elk', tighten your seat belt, and hang on.

I remember reading that Tesla's start being unable to be charged the closer it gets to freezing. How will this truck help ranchers working in sub-freezing weather?? It won't.....it'll be a fad for city slickers. P.S. I test drove a Nissan Titan XD Pro-4X Crew Cab with the Cummins Turbo Diesel on Friday morning - it's a helluva truck, I was impressed: https://www.classicnissantexoma.com...nissan-titan-xd-pro-4x-1N6BA1F4XKN509795

That's about as much of a pickup as Honda's pathetic attempt at one. What a joke.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Always wanted to ask them to bring one by, and we'd put a bale in the back and run across the pasture. If the back doors would still close after that, I'd call it a pickup......

I'm not one to scoff at the ideas of a guy that owns SpaceX.
Not saying it won't be a failure. But I sure as fugk wouldn't bet against it being a success. Yep.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Ought to be a huge hit here in the oil patch. Gotta turn in your man card first though.

It's amazing how many people can't see themselves living in the future. Like everyone is clamoring for the past. Hard to find more than a few willing to drive technology from the 70s and later. Don't worry, no ones going to make you guys buy one. Times coming where good old natural aspirated engines will be a thing of the past. At least grumpy old dudes are funny. I wonder, how many of you are still changing points on your vehicle because you don't like newer electronic technology?
I bet an old dude from the 60s wouldn't think of getting into the plush, pimp mobile trucks most you guys drive around, talking on your hands free smart phone to where ever your GPS tells you to go.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

My next door neighbor's Tesla got rear ended and it took over a month to get a tail light.
