I hate that I like the look of this truck. I hate everything else about it, and want to be fully on board with the hate train having fun poking at this monstrosity, but I just can’t help but have some shit taste when it comes to the look of trucks…

Maybe the concept. Or edited photos from far away. Take a realistic, close-up look, and prepare to be disappointed. And the steel seems about as “fun” to take care of as a boat.

At least it’s different. I can’t tell one truck from another. GMC, Ford, Ram, Chevrolet, they look exactly the same.

And why do you want to join a hate train? Love trains are better ❤️

My next car will be an electric car. It will not be a Tesla.

Furthermore, why are you blaming the consumer when corporations do the majority of the carbon pollution?

Tesla is bad though. Everything about their business seems to be catered to stupid people.

Literally the only good thing must has ever done in any of his ventures seems to be releasing the Tesla plug connector to other manufacturers.

And even that I’m not convinced is good long term.

I know it’s not a common opinion here, but there’s nothing remotely close to Tesla in terms of bang for the buck (whole experience, features, autopilot, charging infrastructure, power, range).

What are the ones you have in mind?

I’ve never driven any fully electric car yet so I’m not 100% sure about anything, but right now if I had the money I’d buy a Hyundai Ioniq 6 or Kia EV6 (or maybe a Polestar but I don’t like how they charge money to unlock features the car already has). From what I’ve seen and heard it seems like the Tesla vehicles are just poorly built and unreliable. Either way though I would just never buy a car that supported Musk because he is a genuinely horrible person.

(Also, not that it really matters that much compared to everything else, but I just feel like Hyundai/Kia has the best looking cars on the market right now and I love their designs so so much)

Just FYI, there are >20 other electric car makers in the market right now. A couple of those beat Tesla by a good margin, more than half have electric cars below 40k €.

How is this news. A car can be towed for several reasons other than mechanical problems.

You’re being downvoted, but only because you’re absolutely right and you’ve upset the circle jerkers.

You have upset then even more. Wait. Listen! You hear the “reeeeeee” in the distance? They are coming for me next. To tell me how they are autistic, have ADD, and think communism is a great idea, cause you know, gulags are super cozy.

It’s not out yet and it’s already been illegally parked

Reading the article would indicate the truck was towed for being parked illegally.

Yeah my first thought is if it’s not for sale yet, then maybe this isn’t a mechanical failure

As it’s not released, it’s probably illegal (contractually) to drive it on a public road. This is likely more akin to seeing tech writers with unreleased hardware.
