Elon walked off stage to kill the guy who designed the glass.

Half-joking aside...

I trust the glass will be fully bulletproof by end of year, if not some time next week.

Y’all are hilarious. This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. This is straight up a Delorean. God bless these idiots.

I don’t even need a truck, I am driving a Prius Prime (32 miles battery + gas tank) today and I want to buy this. The look, the specs, the design of the website, I love it all!

And the web team > 429 Too Many Requests

Order page eventually went up, and my down payment went thru.

As a truck guy who has owned a lot of trucks and currently owns a 2017 Ram 2500 CTD 4x4 and a Land Rover Defender 110, I'm telling you right now: this is going to kill it. This is the suburban status item of 2022. I want to buy this right now. This has nearly the towing capacity of my Ram and will smoke my wife's Audi on the track.

Will they be able to survive until then with this though? Because I seriously doubt it.

This is what happens when an Aztec mates with a Delorean. This is the biggest boondoggle, maybe ever. The Reliant Robin has more charisma than this thing.

As the current owner of a 2017 F150 long bed 4x4 with an ARE bed cap, I'm super-tempted by the Tesla. It's a total no-brainer for the people buying things like the Honda Ridgeline. It's less so for people who treat their truck like a work vehicle.

Frankly, I don't think will cannibalize the existing P/U market as much as it will sway more people away from SUVs into [Cyber]trucks, especially if the back seat is as spacious as a normal full size truck's.

Reminds me of the “Homer” upon laying first eyes on it.

I've seen that meme floating around on Twitter, but I don't get it.

The "Homer" was a car with a million little crazy details added onto it. It was bubbly and green.

This thing has all the details removed from it (it doesn't even have side mirrors!), and it's flat and black and gray.

There's zero resemblance? Is the joke just that "it's different from other cars"?

I laughed at the Model Y unveil, but looking at this I am experiencing "Sam Neill 'In the Mouth of Madness' " paroxysms of laughter. What an ugly hunk of garbage.
