It’s a strange world we live in when you are probably safer riding in one of Elon Musk’s Falcon rockets than you are in one of his ‘External’ combustion cars…

I was hoping someone would post this.

Elon Musk is a fake, a fugazi, a fraud. He’s probably on the payroll of the Deep State via Burisma Holdings or some other foreign monetary black hole.

He’s never invented a thing but that persona. There are no rockets that take off and land backwards, the cars are all shit that burn their drivers alive if they fail to get out in time or drive them into buses and pedestrians and he goes around acting like the face of this BS story called “Tesla”, smoking weed and banging Instagram influencers half his age for his troubles.

One of the funniest launches of a new product in the history of failed launches.

This is a truck?
Are you fucking kidding me?

Oh-wait, it was designed by some third graders and the prototype being made out of some refrigerator shipping boxes…. that splain’s it all.

It think that perhaps two or three of these will sell to some fools who have more money than sense.

Right now the Tesla design team responsible for this fiasco are being crucified in the Hawthorne plant.
And rightly so.

‘lectric pickup’d be handy. Get that baby out in the sticks with a few 5 gallon cans of voltage. Probably getcha anywhere. Maybe be out there for days. Gun rack and Confederate flag and all. Box of cigars in the console. I wonder if it comes with oil burning vertical stacks as an option so that at least a guy could roll a LITTLE coal if he wanted to. Elon Mush is either a deep state operative undercover, or a total queer. Both is my guess.

Apparently, you put the plywood in a Ford pickup, then drag the Ford home behind your Tesla Angry Triangle pickup.

That thing is awesome. The redneck side of me wants the wheels slightly bigger, but all the towing and cargo numbers are good. Performance is sick, 0 to 60 on par with the new mid-engine Corvette. and trust me, that’s telepathically fast. Yeah, the haters will have fun beating it up for a few days, but then I bet he sells the living shit out of the things. And everybody seemed to miss the little electric ATV that drives right up the built-in ramps and charges itself while you drive. Tesla is a monster

Electric ATVs are already on the market. They are a nobrainer for people who use one every day, like farmer or ranchers. Quiet, clean , Very cheap energy, almost no maintenance.

Dang! And here I thought the designers in the automobile biz could not have thought up an uglier vehicle than the Pontiac Aztek —

Got to give Musk his props for being so sensitive to the needs of the easily duped.

Flat sides for simple dies and tooling. Stainless steel sheet metal so no need for a paint shop and all the regs. that go with one. Drive it through the brush with out worry of scratching the paint.

This was a stupid & brilliant ploy. Stupid like a fox. Brilliant for all the free advertising they generated with the broken windows. This ‘truck’ will be seen by a LOT of people! They couldn’t pay to advertise that thing to as many people who will see these vids around the world. This story was on all the news outlets & how many websites?

Electric autos & trucks. No thanks. I notice that little is said about the size of the ‘carbon footprint’ generated by what it takes to make an electric vehicle. The batteries for example. Then there is the ‘how is the electricity generated’ aspect.

I’ll take my internal combustion vehicle any day over the electric junk. Oil isn’t from fossils anyway. Look up The Myth Of Peak Oil.
