It is a pretty good deal after buying anything with green paint on it.

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.

It's more of a hatchback than a truck.

Maybe the market is Millies. They wouldn't know a truck if it hit 'em.

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

Oh I know. I know very well. In theory it should be equivalent to operating a 350 NG motor to a submersible electric pump on a well.

I just don't intend to be the beta tester.

There is no way that design as is will meet NHTSA standards. If that thing hit a pedestrian, they would be cut in half. I just hope that add a trapezoidal roof. I would be lying if I didnt say I was hoping he would pull a string, making the cardboard fall away and reveal the real truck.

I used to draw trucks like that in second grade, before I learned about aerodynamics.

Infinite torque, no maintenance, self-driving. Good lord that would be awesome.

Someday they will, I am highly skeptical of this deal.

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

Love Bueh’s rant on Deere gear. Every ****ing farmer I know says the exact same thing.

24 row planter and ONE connection gets dusty and the whole show goes to shit. LMAO

Is there some kind of big crazy SUV out now that looks kind of like the cybertruck? I saw something on the road the other day that looked like a futuristic/speed racer vehicle. It was going the other way and I couldn't get a picture.

If it resembled a truck at all I’d order one today.

It looks like a raised car. Pickup drivers don’t want to sit on the floor, we get in and out a lot when working.

14k towing, 77,000 for a fully loaded beast doesn’t scare me away. Just wish it was more practical in its day to day design.

Looks like a vehicle from the movie Megaforce. The 1982 vision of the future.

I read a book back in high school called Damnation Alley. I don't remember anything about the book, but I think it was one of those 'drive across an apocalyptic world' books. Apparently it was a movie at some point as well.

This truck reminds me of the vehicle a little bit, which is not a bad thing.
