I agree. I am just disappointed Elon touted this as a bad %$# truck to replace the F150/Ram. But offers nothing a truck buyer is looking for. At least the El Camino and Ranchero offered something the Pick-ups didn't or unique.

Yes, the El Camino and Ranchero where not marketed to people that needed or even wanted a truck.

So it's a Suburu Brat...Actually in other countries they still sell similar models but if this is the case, he's not marketing to his target audience.

Are we right sure about not marketing to his target? The improved creature comforts of the half tons, plus pollution controls on the car based vehicles, (pollution controls also caused the growth of the truck based cars) cut the sales of the early crossovers. But a very large percentage of the class 1 pickups, never haul or tow anything. The Tesla likely fit right in.
Where the Tesla, and some of the diesel, buyers might have issues is a lot of pickup are bought by 3rd owners that have intention of working the truck hard. House painters that don't worry about spilled paint. Junkers, that gather recyclables, and a dent don't matter. For those people, need a big bed, and can't gamble much on a emission system that could change your truck into a recyclable at any time.
