Tesla Pick-up unveiling

[Carlson-jet]

What is the tow rating?

 

[oldschool]

This thing makes the Pontiac Aztek look bad ass.

 

[rrrr]

Next level shit!

Next level down...

Been watching to much Back to the Future movies.

Focken Elon, I just checked my shop and 6 sheets of sheet metal are missing

 

[Universal Elements]

Grads Smart car is a beauty compared to that crap.

LOL. I was at Pontiac's 75th anniversary in Redwing when the new Lady GM announced the Aztec as what would save Pontiac with the newer generation, you could hear a pin drop... for a long time. We all knew it was the end of an era.

Towing capacity 7500 lbs. uhh no.

I guess Elon thinks he knows better than focus groups ehh? There is NO WAY that is the design any panel chose. Has to be the single ugliest vehicle developed. I'd drive a Pontiac Aztec over that ANY day!

Tesla just announced they will be participating in Monster Jam 2020

 

[Carlson-jet]

Towing capacity 7500 lbs. uhh no.

That's in "Super tow mode" to reach the next diesel powered charging station.

I overheard a call third party and intercepted an email that Musk colluded with Volcom surf on this truck design.

 

[rrrr]

 

[Carlson-jet]

You were at the 75th Pontiac anniversary as well? Small world.

I really like the safety dash so much I want to kiss it at 75 during a head on.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

Totally not what I thought it would look like. Bummer you have to spend 70k to get 500 miles of range.

 

[Outdrive1]

What a let down.

He was right about one thing -when he said it doesn't look like anything else.

Good Lord this has to be a joke? If not sell your Tesla stock stat!!! This company is going down like a bad transmission

 

[SpeedyWho]

What a piece of shit, the design reminds me of another famous flop... next thing you know old Elon will be caught by the DEA for a cocaine trafficking scam to fund his company.

Well im still not a tesla buyer.
All stainless, like a delorean. Ha

Well, it certainly is polarizing.

These designs show a lack of understanding how many pickup tricks are used. I know the automotive press makes hay with the suburban truck owners, but many of us use them to work. Ford sells fleets of XL trim level F150s with rubber floor mats.

We need something more utilitarian please. The Rivan is closer, bit still misses.

I would love to replace every gas lightduty truck in my fleet with electric powered ones. I guess I'll just have to wait for the electric F150.

 

[Waffles]

The Ram, Silverado and F-150 represent decades of engineering experience gained from hundreds of thousands of vehicles.

Tesla apparently thinks they can pop out a working vehicle in six months. Completely ignoring the power train deal, buying one and expecting it to equal the Ram, Ford or Chevy would be plainly stupid IMHO.

"Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot apparently thinks he can pop out a working vehicle in six months. Completely ignoring the power train deal, buying one and expecting it to equal a horse and carriage would be plainly stupid IMHO."- regressive idiots from the 1700's probably

Im pretty sure the guy behind space-x has his R&D down to be able to compete with any of the big 3

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

This is exactly what I thought when I saw it. Lol

 

[2Driver]

Just turned on the news to Elan Musk and his buddy throwing rocks at a copy of my kids soap box derby car.

wow he’s lost it.

Musk makes a lot of noise about the big 3, but I don't think he really wants that. It's better to play in the luxury market, more profit as well.

 

[Uncle Dave]

This type of thing that happens when you surround yourself with sycophants that refuse to challenge you.

[LargeOrangeFont]

Ugly as shit, but those features and specs are pretty bad ass! It’s priced right, surprisingly. Definitely shots fired at the big 3. It won’t win over grandpa, but I bet it gets a shitload of tech buyers, millennial truck buyers, newbs, and those looking for the next hot thing

It will get a bunch of yuppie buyers.

Just wait until the towing police on here sees one towing a toy hauler.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

The Cybertruck is at least 2 years out, I'm sure they're gonna make some changes to it as time goes on. I put a deposit down on the dual motor awd.

 

[Meaney77]

Any idea when we still start to see these shit boxes on the street?

I can’t help but think of the California Love rap video

 

[HCP3]

I am curious about the suspension and payload. It wasn't mentioned. They were too busy bashing Ford being "built tough".

Someone hit the bong and watched Total Recall from the 80s

Lets be realistic here, we all know he makes a lot of noise about the big 3 for obvious marketing purposes. We also all know hes not trying to take the market share of the Light/Medium truck class. (....or is he?!?). But to say that he isnt capable of competing with them because " he doesnt have decades of engineering experience gained from hundreds of thousands of vehicles" is utterly absurd and down right ignorant. Again, were talking about the same guy behind space x here........

 

[Mandelon]

LOL, it looks like LEGO kit. I had higher hopes.

Contractors and construction guys would love to have a cheap little truck. Like the old Toyota. Or the original Ranger. The new Tacoma is huge, tall and expensive. The new Ranger and Colorado are the same. So tall you can't reach into the bed.

Just an inexpensive tool hauler. Remember these?

 

[hallett21]

Not sure what everyone expected? Why would Tesla want to get into a market that’s profit is made by volume.

This truck will sell to the same guy that buys a raptor and never leaves the pavement.

It’s completely out there design wise, but will sell. Tesla is not designing vehicles for old dudes yelling get off my lawn.

He just hired a bunch of people from the “big 3” at Tesla, and hired a bunch is NASA, JPL and aerospace people at Space X.

So youre agreeing that he is capable of competing with the big 3......

 

[22hotkat]

The Super Duty will start production in 2017 - taking deposits today

 

[RiverDave]

Lmao!!

 

[RiverDave]

I thought this thing was supposed to tow 40,000 lbs?


By the way I read earlier somewhere that when he broke the window he actually said “oh my fucking god” live on stage.. lol.

That all said if it has a legit 500 mile range, toes the 40k, does zero to 60 in 2.9 has the autonomous driving, and is priced below 50k like they originally said.. and it looked like the renderings they put out awhile back, then maybe.


I don’t know wtf that thing is on stage but that is something from a sci-fi movie from the 80’s as others have said.

 

[Cole Trickle]

WTF....For a car company that has designed some really nice looking cars (not the X) this seems like a big miss.

 

[EBT531]

Well it did drop $21 today after the release lol
