    haha, didn't hear about that, not a big selling feature!
    I see a walmart store started on fire after googling it.
    After they burn down a few more houses they will get the bugs worked out.

    Its features and price point smoke the Tacoma.

    Who gives a fuck what it looks like.

    Granted my biggest concern is electric car in the middle of nowhere but if you plan accordingly it shouldn't be a problem.

    Ugly or not, I think it’s interesting and it’s different. I pre-ordered one, build date is in 2022 so plenty of time to see what else comes to market.

    I thought we were starting to get past the trend of electric cars being weird mobiles styled to make sure everyone knows your car is electric. I guess I was wrong.

    Looks rather fugly and how do people plan on getting things from the front end of the bed without getting in the bed? Also, it can withstand a sledgehammer to the door but can it withstand an angry person with a set of keys...

    Edit: The ability to charge an electric motorcycle/dirt bike (Cake Bike), departure/approach angles and independent adjustable suspension are pretty dope tho.

    How long before Go Fast makes a camper for it and gives it to the first 5 influencers with the most Instagram followers?

    FWIW, it’s a huge disappointment to me. Price is on point but it’s looks ridiculous. Why couldn’t they make. Look like a truck.

    You do make a good point, base price is not terrible for a Tesla but still the awd is another 10k. Definitely more of a ridge line. That said I wonder how it will do off-road.

    At least the Mach-E looks visually appealing. I'd seriously consider pre-ordering that if I had the money.
