Elon tease -- Tesla pick will look like military vehicle

[Yosemite_Sam1]

Another Elon Musk tease.:C

Just trolling the Mr. Magoo skeptics, EV and Musk haters.

Fire away!



Tesla Pick-up Military Style?

[Bedlam]

You will finally get an idea what the Tesla pickup will look like after two years of teasing. No idea how much longer Tesla will tease buyers before it actually becomes available:

Nobody knows what it looks like. All just photoshop guesses.

I think the idea is to not compete with other pickups. He’ll probably shoot for the high performance crowd. EV’s are kinda naturals at that. Not every truck owner needs to tow 600 kilometers per day.

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.

That doesn't look like a military personnel carrier truck to me.:E

Updated version of the ole Ford Econoline Pickup


Or the Dodge A100


Volkswagon even had one

It looks more like the Ark II than a military vehicle.

[wanderingaimles]

It looks , by the design to be trying to minimize the wheelbase, exactly the opposite of what RV or trailer towers want except for the very small ones.

With no front overhang, crash test ratings will be interesting too.

Yes the Amish guy's truck looks more like a trash truck than a consumer pick-up.
Maybe he hauls his horses in there.

So you have an Amish guy with flip up sunglasses sitting on the running board. He apparently lost his hat and is wearing blue suede shoes. He is being eyeballed by guy with a Ram, who is picking his nose? On the other side is a 4'10" tall woman with size 15 gunboat feet, taking a picture with a Kodak disposable camera.

Don't confuse the completely unknown Tesla PU with the EV-F150 or this cartoon.
Entertainment only 😉

Not a grocery getter.

"Super singels"? All I see are same size tires as on the front

ok and I am thinking the payload weight capacity of that single tire pair probably exceeds that of a 1-ton dually. Maybe not. I still like the idea of the larger single tire. Just a cartoon anyway and not even from Tesla.

It may be scheduled to be seen on November 21st, but anything can happen: "Musk had said in January that Tesla might be ready to unveil the truck by summer."
