VaTitan Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) You've got to give Elon Musk credit for pushing the envelope when it comes to design, but the back half of the truck is ugly. The front angles are pretty dope. The glass breaking during the demo was hilarious and exposes Musk's MO for outrageous claims that often are untrue.

abenjami Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I'm more interested to see if the back half is actually functional as a pickup truck? It doesn't look like you could do some basic things like carry full sheets of plywood. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 It looks like a truck for people who don’t actually need a truck... reo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) i'll give them credit for a bold design but personally i like the curves of other designs better. I liked that design personally. And just for comparison since they haven't been posted Edited November 22, 2019 by reo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that sort of thing catching on. As I get older I keep expecting some trend to catch on that I'm completely not on board with... something that's just completely against my style and what I'm use to. That's what's typically happened w/ every generation as the new generation takes over so maybe it's cars w/ this look. I dunno. Not my thing though.

Starkiller Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 The design might be more aerodynamic somehow. Not sure. It doesn’t look it, but sometimes it comes off as counter-intuitive. Or maybe it’s just much cheaper to build it with pieces that don’t need to be bent into curved shapes. It’s full of just flat edges that I guess would be easier to produce. Either way, it looks like it would appeal to people who want to be seen. It’s so unique looking that attention seekers would probably flock to it.

They're trying for that pixelated look in order to try and be new and trendy. Starkiller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a tweet today that said it looks like what an 80's action movie claimed our cars would look like in 2020. I saw another that said it was designed on an original PlayStation. Both tweets are accurate. ChemEngr79, and NashvilleNinja 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starkiller Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I think it looks kind of cool in a fake futuristic way. But then I’m not in the target audience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
