Yeah, but the front wheels of the truck will barely touch the ground with the ATV in the back.

To be fair, the electric air suspension system lowers the rear of the truck when you deploy the ramp tailgate.

The more I look at this rig the more I spit up in my mouth a little.

Feature of the suspension to help loading as I read somewhere...
I cant believe it myself but I gave a deposit this morning

I was expecting something better looking but I'm pretty sure the production version look better
Comitment is very little, 150$CAD and worst case, I'll get it back

Anyway, I'd love to pull my trailer to the track with an EV & a ton of torque

In all seriousness, this is such a strange move. Tesla's released four attractive vehicles, especially the Model S. This is such a swerve into ugliness. Function is put so high above form that it kind of sucks to look at.

My thinking is, it's gonna be good for at least $100 worth of entertainment.

I had pretty much tuned out by the time the first window broke, but he won me back when he said, "Hmm, that's weird, let's try that again," in front of a live audience that he was supposed to be pitching to. That's exactly the sort of clueless, tone-deaf autistic-savant move I'd expect from, well, myself.

They've released a pic of the ATV

I think we now know why Valentine 1 hasn’t been shipping product. Mike V has been helping Elon design a radar evading truck, no detector needed.

Real reason for the shape is that it will be easy to pack and ship

Sad part is, these Tesla fan boys will buy just about anything. Tesla poop that doe 0-60 in 3 seconds? Yessss, we have 10 million in deposits. Positive cash flow baby! What a joke! Biggest scam in the auto industry.
