Honda Ridgeline tried that style... failed. Looks almost like a Pontiac Aztek, deemed to be one of the worst looking vehicles ever made...
Good luck Elon!
No place to plug it in once I get to Shell Island, so I don't think it will work out. Not a bad place to be marooned with dead batteries, however!

500 mile range! Should be able to make it there and back.
There was a VW specialty model recently that may run the Dakar in Saudi Arabia in January. Maybe an Atlas ? that looked promising and more practical
than this Tesla. It reminded me of the Peugeots sp? that run the Dakar.

Breaking news, the shatter resitant windows shatter!
And speaking of windows, the design of that cab resembles a solar oven! Imagine the battery drain trying to keep that rig air conditioned in the
desert sun.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

I would want to pack a Generator if I had one. I don't think they'll be racing them just yet. Nice bullet proof windows!

Looks like fun vehicle. I love the acceleration of teslas electric motors. My f-150 has another 5 years of life, by then full size e pickups will be
the cats pajamas and i will get one...
Woke!

The electric Tesla’s certainly do have impressive acceleration. Goat, I was only five years off on my estimate of when you would go electric. I
didn’t figure in your five year life left with your F150. But by that time DK may have a charging station on Shell Island.

I like it, but I'm already on the waitlist for a Rivian, which I think is more capable, and has all sorts of cool addon stuff - particularly off
road.

Old people and conservatives are perturbed by change, they grumble about new things. Ignore stick in the mud pundits, they drive dodges

I test drove a Tesla and was impressed with it's performance. I've driven Porsches most of my life and, and still do, but the Tesla just goes like
nothing I have ever experienced. Now if I could get between San Francisco & Palm Springs on one charge???

I had a 911, currently drive a twin turbo Macan (4 years)
When I drove the Tesla with the high performance package I was amazed!
It is a real rocket ship

A 500 mile range is very impressive for an electric car/truck. But the problem for Tesla is their reliability not good, worse than average according
to Consumers Reports.

The Tesla is referred to as a pickup, and they talk about it's towing ability, but can it carry a load in the bed? I have not found a picture or film
clip of a loaded Cybertruck!

They need all of the room for batteries and extension cords.
Like about 200 miles worth of cord
