Well if youtube is full of them it should be real easy for you to link 5 or 6 of them. I say you won't be able to. The clock starts now.

Here are a few "fake" cars by GM.

Since they weren't available to buy they must be fakes.

This will be the same with the pickup. The unveil is next week. Probably a couple years to production. It was the same with the model 3. Model y was unveiled last year and goes into production next spring. Tesla always seems to come thru. Usually with delays but they eventually get out there.

VW said they would have a million EV’s on the road by 2020. We can all see how that went.

Tesla is still the only mass producer of EV’s although Nissan could be arguably included in that category albeit at a much slower rate. GM, Ford, FCA are still no shows. European manufacturers are starting to produce now. But still quite far back from Tesla.

Tesla remains the only long range EV manufacturer and the only manufacturer with a comprehensive charging network. People like to dis Tesla because it’s an American company (especially Americans which is weird) but Tesla has been, is and continues to be the world leader in EV’s and grid and off grid energy production and storage.

Gee, 2 years ago he was unveiling the semi truck that would change everything, anyone seen one going down the road? Fool me once....

Ah, they are for sale then? I didn't know they were available yet.

Don't you think with our memories still fresh, we can still remember to embarrass you with your skepticism and crazy can't do speculations?

Remember this next year when the pickup truck still isn't in even limited production. Showing a one-off means very little, it becomes real when they are actually available to purchase.

Get yourself edumacated, that's how auto companies do it!;)

Yeah, that was my point. When you can buy them, they become real.

And that one on the stage and being tested for test for publication by Car & Driver are illusion?

Dude, you need some stronger meds.;);)

Why no suicide doors like the Semi?

The diesel boys will no longer get to say "the one with the most lug nuts wins". I do like the concept of super singles shown.

I wonder if center position driving could catch on.

Real deal scheduled to be seen on November 21st.

With the driver in the middle, how do I order and get my Bacon McDouble and large Doctor Pepper, inner the gate code to get into storage lot, pay tolls, drive thru bank lane, throw out my empty been cans etc etc?

It comes equipped with Grip N Grab.:B
