Somewhere, the Aztek and the VW Thing are doing shots together, clapping each other on the back and yelling “FINALLY!”

Saw this on FB...

I actually agree This body looks so much better without on Mazda 3

Haha I think I pinpointed when he had his eureka moment for the design of this

I think EVERY serious rendered guess at what a tesla truck would look like looks better/more marketable than this. The Workhorse truck is suddenly the Pretty Girl at the prom.

So I saw the release of the new Tesla Pickup and I’m wishing I hadn’t. Quite simply the most hideous looking thing I have ever seen with four wheels on it. Don’t even want to post a pic of it, it is that bad. Elon needs to back off the devils lettuce.

I see we crossed paths in the FB coachbuilding thread, Robert. ? I’m going to be 100% serious here; I give Tesla 0% chance that this will go into production looking largely like this. It’s the worst design of the last 50 years at least.

me thinks this Opel branded roof cargo box would be a neat accessory....

oh. my. God. Shades of the 1958 Aurora, it's even in the same color scheme: This has to be a joke, someone please tell me this is a joke. It looks like it was built with cardboard and a few cans of spray paint. Not to mention; Rivian must be feeling par-TIC-ularly pleased with their work after viewing this.

GM should take their Skate board platform and slap this concept body on it and would have a superior truck over Tesla.

I totally agree that Tesla's "cybertruck" is the ugliest modern day "truck" that will eventually be available. It could be a Mad Max movie prop for the next sequel for sure, just needs the gun turret mounted in the back. Rivian definitely takes the W with build and looks so far in the EV truck war, bigger bed is all the Tesla has over it. The Tesla pricing is pretty competitive so far from what they're showing (we all know how the Model 3 pricing has gone) and it has to 'cause they ain't gonna sell it on looks! Pretty funny the Tesla presenters with Musk broke the glass in the reveal trying to show how "unbreakable" it is. https://ww.electrek.co/2019/11/22/tesla-cybertruck-vs-rivian-r1t-electric-pickup-comparison/

Only a real diehard Tesla fanboy could like this thing. It also reminds me of 70s/80s Sci-fi, would need a lot of aftermarket stuff on that to distract from its shape.

It looks like something I sketched when I was about 10. I was ahead of my time...;)

You can say anything you want when it is an unproven concept. NO ONE has seen this ugliest concept truck ever do anything motor mouth has spewed last night. Hell GM could take a skate board platform, slap this GMC body on it and they would have a superior EV Truck.

Which one sells the most; the underpowered one? Immaterial to most every single buyer... except those that value more room.

Too much plastic.

• I don’t see SS remotely being a draw. • 14K towing is in the same ballpark, but serious tow folk have 2 & 3 tier heavier trucks from the big 4; Ram 3500 can tow 35,000K. • 14K lb towing will be $70K, not $40K. • 0-60 is irrelevant in F/S trucks. Meanwhile: the bed is horribly inaccessible - the sides are unprecedentedly high.

This shows you how much Musk fears RIvian Truck and SUV. Only a die hard Tesla blowing Musk fan would buy this POS. If anyone is interested in watching, I wish I could get my time back from IDIOT Musk. FEAR FEAR FEAR FEAR of Rivian, Ford and GM. Their ability to actually deliver rather than a blow up concept with vaporware specifications compared to the Proof proven Ford F150 EV or Rivians truck shows they are trying to keep their customers from leaving them as this will not go to production nor will it be available for sale in 1 to 2 years. They might have a truck in 2.5 to 3 years time. This is an UGLY Puke inducing insult. Cheech and Chong Movies Rocked!

Cladding + ‘X’ in the name says CUV in all markets.

Agree, while I love the movie references and am fans of the said movies, this is a truck and the fact that due to the wonky roof line the back seat folks have to sit below the vision line of the front seat folks, this will ONLY APPEAL to Hard Core Tesla Fans. The rest will go with Rivian, far better looking truck.

Zero to 60 mph as low as 2.9 seconds, up to14,000-pound towing, a stainless steel body, and a base price of $40,000. We will see if they can deliver on these claims.

Elon Musk coming up with the idea for a pick up.

Exactly. The current one looks like an April Fools Joke release. It is an affront to the eyes. Like I said in the Random Thoughts thread (before I saw this thread even existed apparently lol), Elon needs to seriously back off the devils lettuce. He somehow managed to make the Aztek seem like the hot girl in the room.

I can easily put the looks of the Trailblazer and the Seltos in the same tiny basket.

I think that looks really good but I like the looks of this more.

This... This is one ugly truck.

It is not pretty by any means. Probably even ugly. But I love how different it is. I am a sci-fi fan so I kind of dig it. Will see if it actually gets to a production and when.

https://www.thedrive.com/news/31154/47-percent-of-people-wish-the-2021-ford-mustang-mach-e-had-a-different-name-survey "Autolist questioned approximately 1,000 members of the general public shopping for new vehicles and found that 47 percent disapprove of using the Mustang nameplate on an electric crossover. Only 19 percent supported Ford's choice to call the Mach-E a Mustang, and 34 percent assigned themselves to neither camp." Note that survey respondents weren't Change.org petition-signing Mustang hardliners. These were Averages Joes and Janes who, given a choice between the Mach-E and the Tesla Model Y, said they'd still pick the Ford 51 percent of the time. While opinions of Tesla among the surveyed group appeared to be mostly positive, Ford-allying respondents said they trusted the Blue Oval and its service network more than they did Tesla, which they weren't certain has much of a future."

First time I've seen a Mazda in red. Gotta say... it is kinda low-slung for a CUV, and the cladding has risen like high tide in the La Brea Tar Pits.

And you are right, Balthy with your original comment. Not race cars... The BEV CUVs like the Tesla Model X and now the Mustang Mach-E, battery is on the floor, therefore high center of gravity not as a big of an issue so those could be tossed around like a race car. But then again, big, tall and heavy dont constitute race car qualities anyway...

They were smarter on price- want folks to buy and lease these....

Basically identical to GLS. 450/500 vs. 463/516. Both 0-60 between 5 & 6 secs.

• RE the Autoline video; the Charger reference doesn't fit because there was a what - 20 year break in the Charger line? The Charger wasn't "changed"; there WAS no Charger in the general vicinity of the 4-dr Charger. • RE the Mach-E - the more I see of it the more I like it (I do prefer the non-GT nose tho).

Thinking the same thing!!

On many models in many years Daimler put a stand-up ornament AND a giant grille emblem on the same car- this looks naked somehow. And because it shares the same 'worn soap' look of the 14 CUVs below it, it also just doesn't look very expensive. I like the 2-tone colors/break, but the overall vehicle comes off as a blinged up mid-range CUV. I'd take a Navigator Black Label instead ~

wow, yes, lots of CLADDAGH

Edgy..like that. When I had my diesel Escort 30+ years ago I nicknamed it 'Esky'. And I could see referring to an Encore as 'Ency' or 'Enky'..

Show us on the doll where Elon touched you.

Im only 5 minutes into this video when I decided this video needs to be shared on this thread. Afterhours Autoline. It addresses the complaints about the naming in the first 5 minutes and I guess the reasons why Ford named it the way they did. At 5 minutes in, reasons why: Mustang is a recognizable name, folk with families could now own a "Mustang" and 4 doors sell and make money....but rest assured, the 2 door Mustang we all love aint going away, au contraire, more special editions are coming...and these products are too hot to talk about just yet...be patient about them... Ill continue listening to it now as well to find out more... Enjoy.

Relatively high cladding to paint ratio on this bugger.

Edge-E would have been more appropriate if they wanted to make a fake CUV to emulate an authentic one.
