Yep. Toyota probably spent 2 Billion in advertising worldwide. Tesla $0.00

I saw one a couple of weeks ago while it was getting recharged in the Austin area. The long-haired-German-driver-wearing-womens-glasses-I-initially-thought-was-a-woman, told me not to take pics inside because Elon was sleeping in the back. The next time it was at that charger, it was covered with a tarp.

It's a big truck. Won't fit in a smaller picture.

Yep, I will resize them later today when I boot my desktop.

I don't understand this all too familiar theory of offering devices to people that possess the ability to do three thousand things,
2050 of which they don't require and most probably will never utilize.

Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Not only not the windows, but using subsonic 9mm. It makes for a good video though.

There were always different drivetrains and performance levels. Yes, it's up $20k but so is everything since 2019.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Agreed, It'd be a Rivian or Lightning if I were in the market for an EV truck [I'm not].

Ugly?

Perhaps, but they found a way to give a gigantic middle finger to the styling of bland family sedans and me-too sport utility vehicles.

For that I have to give them credit.

I like the way it looks. Form follows function, the style will probably grow on people over time. One would expect Ford, GM, etc. to come up with something similar.

IMO, This is a truck in the same way a Honda Ridgeline is a truck. Or even the Chevy Avalanche.
I need a truck for truck stuff. Where do you put the gooseneck ball?
Can I get a pallet of barb wire and 6’ Tposts in the bed?

As far as styling goes, I’m ok with it. But still doesn’t fit my definition of truck.

I resized the images, and all I thought I would have to do is to edit the original post by deleting the large images and replacing them with the smaller ones. For some reason, the images remain in the original post. Sorry guys/gals. If anyone knows how to delete linked images here on SF, enlighten me.
