What is the attraction?
Pros:
-electric cars have better acceleration than gas vehicles.
Cons:
-ugly
-likely to have major production issues an poor quality based on earlier Tesla experience
-limited range
Questions:
-Does it have any utility as an actual pickup?
-Does it have all of the cool features that newer Ford, Dodge & GMC trucks have in the bed area?
-Are they going to stop lying about the glass being unbreakable?
Even if I could stand the appearance, no way would I be an early adapter of this truck. The first buyers are practically guaranteed to get trucks full of defects and bugs.
For me, personally:
Pros:
-electric cars have better acceleration than gas vehicles. I'm not a bro. I don't buy trucks based on how fast they accelerate
-quiet
-stainless body means no pin stripes from mesquite
-Less routine maintenance
Cons:
-
ugly I like the looks. It looks like a chonker Delorean
-likely to have major production issues an poor quality based on earlier Tesla experience. This is my biggest hesitation for the purchase. Can be said for every truck that isn't a Toyota.
-
limited range. Should be fine for my needs. I have multiple vehicles and prefer cars for road trips over trucks.
-Heavy. I don't think weight has been posted yet, but I imagine this thing will be heavy as hell, meaning it will just rut up roads and paths in soft mud very easily.
Questions:
-Does it have any utility as an actual pickup? Yes
-Does it have all of the cool features that newer Ford, Dodge & GMC trucks have in the bed area? Yes. I am really interested in the built-in ramp and rear lowering air suspension. It will really help with loading up smaller vehicles such as four wheelers and motorcycles.
-Are they going to stop lying about the glass being unbreakable? Doubtful.
