He managed to price something near half the price of his cars, which in the normal world cost twice as much as a car.
When something is too good to be true....... If it truly has a body that can’t be dented why aren’t normal manufacturers using that skin? This pickup has small penised weekend warrior written all over it. |

They couldn't deliver on a 35k mainstream sedan that would have a lot higher volume. There's no reason to think that 39k model truck will ever sell.
Also, Trucks and SUVs are where vehicle companies can currently make good margins. If you wanted to go against the grain on that, I'm not sure you picked a design that lines up with mainstream volume. |

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

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.

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

There are 49k and 59k tier trucks that have multiple motors w/ more range and power. The 39k model is a single motor. I think self driving is a 7k Add on

I’d be open to it. I can run up pretty close to 250 miles in a day, but I’d be down if it can holdup. |

I can't believe people are conditioned to think 40k for a vehicle is a good deal.

Not to go off on a rant here (for you young kids out there YouTube Dennis Miller Live), but a 40K pickup is a hell of a deal compared to a 450K Combine or 350K tractor. Sure, it's not doing the same work as those machines, but you know what a 40K pickup does do well? ****ing sensors. My pickup, which was engineered for soccer moms on paved roads that I'm driving in the field, has ECU, fuel, exhaust and all the other bullshit sensors too, except they work. Goddamned Deere (and CNH too FWIW) is engineered to be in the field and can't keep sensors running. **** that pisses me right the **** off. /rant tl;dr: If you don't like the price of new pickups, go price new Deere paint. |
