    No way it will look like that, Tesla doesn't have the ability to design anything that looks that good.

    Tesla has been revolutionary in the auto industry. I am hoping they come out with the truck in the future. Toyota has become stale because of the lack of innovation. Competition brings innovation and is better for the consumer. Toyota couldnt even give us leather electric seats in a 40k truck until the ranger/Colorado came out. Tesla has been sticking to their words and do develop what they promise, even though its often delayed.

    I like their standard pu truck more, if it had the price, the range and the right mods, it would be pretty cool!

    Ok, I hate to say this.... since I am not a millennial and all. But.. I think it looks pretty cool.

    Competition is good for innovation so I hope they do it. I don't think I would ever buy a tesla. I think most of their sales have been based on rebates which are now gone. Elon seems like a cool dude, but..... he has two many proverbial irons in the fire. TSLA seems more like a wall street stock buy as opposed to a car company. But...... who knows..

    asking because i hear a lot of "fuck Tesla" and similar anti-Tesla comments everywhere. seems like a lot of people wish for the company to fail, but don't have a good explanation for their hate. just curious why.

    Don't like it, first reason I don't like Tesla, vehicles. Second it's ugly on purpose.


    Why do EVs, Hybrids, and anything green have to look like shit?

    That rendering is absolutely awful. I would buy two Ridgelines before I would even sit in that Tesla.

    TBH they set up shop in my town which led to a bunch of people moving here from a place I don't like. There, I said it.
