Can one take a truck that is utilitarian by design...

Nov 26, 2019,10:13 AM
 

...make it look avant-garde and still have it appeal to the folks outside of big cities who also happen to be the largest purchasers of trucks?  Has this been done before?


It's not for me but it'll be interesting and fun to watch this play out.

Kind regards,
Dan

it’s like straight out of a « total recall » movie, the one from 1989, of course... I bet the straights lines makes it cheaper to build.

It reminds me of those cool futuristic cars of the 70s/80s such as the Nissan 300zx or the 1980s Oldmosbile Tornado with the TOUCHSCREEN! To bringing cyberpunk greatness back!

Wedgy design I think the detractors of the Tesla design should wait until they see the full unveiling, or a more detailed set of images. The tailgate includes ramps inside, so you can drive right up into the bed area. In addition they adopted the adjustab...

I think it is extremely interesting. I really like the minimalist approach to the interior. Let’s see if this will inspire a new epoch among car manufacturers and production cars. I think it will.

Let me tell you now... It's not going to sell in Texas.

It seems pretty useless to the real pick-up buyers. I guess this is what passes for a pick-up in California. All the best... HEO

I assume, with the “armored glass” that their target market is gangs and other criminals? In that case the police will enjoy the failure of the windows! And of course the limited range at speed and long recharge times for the cops to catch up. Fun stuff! ...

The Question Is; Will Cybertruck Sell?

Some facts I've known and have come to realize; hopefully some of these facts are useful for WatchProSite readers outside of the USA: 1. In USA, the top selling truck models outsell the top selling car and SUV models. For instance, 400,000 units of the Fo...

I too am intrigued. I'm not a typical truck buyer, but I have an interest in this vehicle. I currently own a Ridgeline and it's very useful for the type of chores I put it to. I have major issues with Honda's user interface in the cabin, but the truck's s...

worse they always want to charge more for "peak" times of usage. So where does that take us when they've finally pushed everyone into an electric vehicle and all those folks need to charge at the same time? No doubt the priciest-worst time to charge will ...
