Default Truck Designed By 4 Year Old!
Does anybody else think the Tesla truck looks like it was designed by a 4 year old! Talk about ugly! At first I thought it was a joke.

I'm calling it.

I say it's a joke. That can't be the new Tesla truck. It can't be. It has to be a big hoax. Elon loves playing big time jokes on people.

That would be the biggest wasted opportunity for that company if that really is the new Tesla truck. I was embarrassed for him watching the entire thing.

Agree completely. Except for the embarrassment part. He is unembarassable.

How's this?



I find it very hard to believe Elon just bumbled this, the guy is kind of a "mad genius" but stupid I don't think so.

+1 I think it is going to end up looking more like this. If not, ELon needs to get this artist on the payroll.

Investors seem to have been impressed by the unveiling.

I find it hard to believe that the same guy that produced the $100K Tesla, could present this monstrosity in public with a straight face...

I like the nicely styled $100K model but this is just way to stupid... O Dollars in the styling dept? Dig up Harley Earl and he could do better... There's just no excuse for it...

He better see s doctor and fast...

Hate to say this, but it looks exactly like a homemade cardboard "race car" costume I once saw on a 10-year-old boy's dog at the Dachshund "Hallow-Wiener" annual event. And yes, he won 1st place...but that was on a DACHSHUND!!!

Pontiac Aztek, anyone???

These guys try to make sense of the design and raise some interesting points:

That thing is fuglier than a LADA and Wartburg and that's saying something.

At least the G class has military roots and has proven its design over 40 years. Same for the HMMWV that lter became H1.

But this??? Srsly?

All refrigerators get cold, and all Tesla’s can go fast.

Speed is a commodity at this point.

Driver engagement and fun are way higher on my list.
