This was/has always been a stupid brainfart of a vehicle. It'll be a race: Will Telsa discontinue the Truck or Musk first?

American pickup trucks are already at a near peak of stupid design: Giant grills, huge wheels, terrible road handling, the literal worst gas mileage, and huge stupid lifts that shouldn't be street legal, so that Chad can have a life size Tonka Truck.

Literally no one else in the world wants these stupid things. Our own military doesn't want them.

Musk took that, and managed to make it way worse.

I want the electric version of the Geo Metro. Cloth seats, no AC, no radio, no power seats/window/tailgate




You can still buy these Geo-metro like vehicles in Europe.

I was shocked to see electric Renault Zoe has manual windows in the back.

But plenty of other low-end cars, especially French ones, are like the more modern Geo Metro experience.


I actually thought for the longest time that the cyber truck was an over the top meme/joke. I was astounded to find out it was real.


It followed a well trodden design path.
