I wondered that myself, but, yeah, this seems to be it.

Teslas are quite good looking cars. This is not. I thought they were trying to make a serious effort to gather some market share

How practical is it as a pickup vs a tough-looking SUV toy? Bed doesn't look particularly large.

I saw a vid of some guy riding inside of it.

It is pretty hard to believe that this is actually it, but it seems to be.

Stock took a hit. Who knows. Might be able to pick up a Tesla for cheap in the near future.

About that flat front, perhaps it is plastic and not radar interactive?

Casual acquaintances have bought T cars and like them. It's not out of the question for me but I don't want to drive unless I have to. People today destroy themselves with forks. No confidence in them with vehicles. Keep them away from me.

Hi Larry Bible. Wondered if you were still around.
