Well, he said it was going to be different.
Starts at $40k, though. That's impressive. |

Musk should work on making his car business profitable before he decides to build the ugliest truck in history.

I get that same kind of Lunar Rover vibe. I don't hate it like some others. I think in that first pic Buehler posted where the trunk is covered it looks neat. Very futuristic. Not sure I'd want it to be my daily driver though

But yeah, it filling the roles that the F250/2500 "farm" crowd does seems like a huge leap. |

Have you priced pickups lately?
30 will get you a 3 year old 30K half ton that doesn't have warranty at a LT or maybe LTZ trim package. notorious is driving a 3/4 diesel. I don't know what trim package he had - and that definitely matters, but I'd bet he's in the neighborhood of 60K if he bought it new. I don't mean to speak out of turn for notorious, but those are the numbers I've found. |

At least mine, that I run in the garage at night, and 75% no payload except 700 lb or so of tools and a compressor. |

Infinite torque, no maintenance, self-driving. Good lord that would be awesome. Someday they will, I am highly skeptical of this deal. |

EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I don't intend to be on the bleeding edge of a ****ing pickup on the farm, I keep lower miles pickup for my wagon strictly because I don't want to **** around with breakdowns. It just needs to run. So I'm a long way from ordering one, but on the surface it makes sense if it can do the same things mine can.

On my end it needs to hold together on shit roads and be able to live in dirt. I too would be all over it. But like I said, I'm not willing to risk much on my Daily farm pickup.

The local dealership put out an incorrect ad and web info that put Chevy 1500 LTZ crew cab gassers at 38k. My fingers smoked trying to dial the phone.
My salesman laughed and told me about the mishap. Said he had 10 calls in the first hour of work that Monday. Damn. |

I’m afraid they will go very light on the frame to increase range. No good on a work pickup. |
