I feel like I am taking crazy pills with the amount of good sentiment to this design. This thing is absolutely fugly. The guys over at Rivian must be having a party right now.
You do know how G Wagon, the ultimate $ symbol, looks like, right?
Great truck. Very exotic design, excellent price point, However, there was one statement that stood out as a MASSIVE mistake: >The glass is stronger than standard car glass Please stop doing this. Audi and Mercedes pulled this gimmicky crap about 8 years ago until they realized samaritans, Firefighters and EMT's need to be able to breech safety-glass windows in the event you become entrapped in the vehicle (possibly…
>Great truck. Very exotic design, excellent price point, Hmm as a long time Truck Buyer I am not impressed with the design at all, nor the specs, nor the price. >Please, the vehicle already looks like the M577 Armored Personnel Carrier from Aliens. I wish, no this looks like some on put a Truck bed on a Pontiac Trans sport minivan from the 90's This Truck buyer will be waiting for the Electric F150, that is for sure

I think the $30000 price difference would put a lot of panic in that laugh if Rivian didn't have some insane pre-orders in the bag from Amazon.
I agree that electric trucks are important to combat climate change, but wow. If their goal is to sell to the market that buys pickup trucks, I think the styling is way off the mark. Huge, beastly trucks are a status symbol and signalling to others that you are are certain demographic. Same reason some people buy cheap cars and add shiny wheels and lights. Same reason some people buy BMWs and Mercedes. These are all…
I genuinely had to double check my calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1st. I love the fact that Tesla are moving away from the boring, middle of the road designs of their previous models. But this.... this is just hideous. It doesn’t look tough or futuristic; it looks like something a 10 year old designed, and no, that’s not a good thing.
This is the first time I have seen a production vehicle's design to be less realistic (in terms of usability, component reuse, artistic freedom, etc) than it's artistic renders. Here's a few artist imagined renders, and to be honest, they would be a lot less likely to get an April 1st calendar check reaction: - https://inteng-storage.s3.amazonaws.com/img/iea/JYG0mpkD61/s... - https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uplo…
I know a lot of folks are walking away from the puzzling aesthetic but I think that’s the point. Existing Tesla owners with a taste for existing design cues won’t push Tesla sales any further. They’ve got to expand the demographic and this design has a chance to do this. Think of all the wrangler, hummer, truck buyers who want a militaristic, rough, unpolished steel look and this is that flavor taken to an extreme. O…
