Coop has finally, completely, lost it.

As I just said...elsewhere. It's a ballsy design direction, and I'm glad someone is taking some risks.

Only the market will say if it sells or not. :eh:

Whenever you use forceful and overt verbal persuasion to try to convince others to see things your way, they're probably not listening to what you say, Instead they're looking for every error in you your logic and mistakes in your facts, all the while constructing counterarguments. Worse still, they don't merely believe you're wrong; they need you to be wrong in order to protect the status quo. And since the final judge exists in their own head, you lose every time. - The Influencer

I’m sure it’s got some special drivetrain that’s better than what I’m running.

It'll burn through the battery attempting to get up his driveway.

That thing is hideous and looks like something thought up in the 1970s for how they think cars will look in 2050.

Agreed. Heaven forbid you trip, fall on any part of that truck...and impale yourself. Just look at the tailgate! Gillette design that?

Except that it won't be out on time, and it'll cost more than they're bragging about.

I'm not sure if anyone has ever successfully taken delivery of a $35k Model 3.

“ Musk says ordering on Tesla's site is available now. You can see the complete pricing breakdown below. Production for the rear-drive truck begins in 2021, and the tri-motor will arrive in 2022.”

Damn. I will want something else by the end of the day.

Totally. Musk has made way too many huge claims that he can’t deliver on.

Jalopnik said the same thing, albeit in a different way. It looks like a low polygon spaceship from a PS1 game.

This was hilarious too.
