Well driving home from a restaurant this evening we passed this thing which unfortunately I could not get better pics of as driving and this one grabbed for a few seconds whilst waiting on a light change - but unregistered and from the rear 100% the Tesla EV Truck - I'm probably way behind but had not seen other posts on it live in towns in US - no doubt numerous such 'sightings' in CA etc - anyway, besides all that, the thing is truly But* ugly or "Bugly" :) - seriously, cannot understand anything about it's design language here - bizarre.

There was one at the C&C here a week or two ago. I didn’t go, but I saw posts about it.

OK - I’m up to speed - I guess I posted off the cuff as TBH I was genuinely shocked at how utterly ridiculous the thing looked on the road - yet again a personal opinion but man, just bugly imo!

Here is a version wrapped. It will become a fashion icon in California.

I think everybody here is just upset because it's faster than most versions of the Taycan and still costs less.

I believe the concept that Tesla was going for is that the truck is so awesome underneath that it can adorn that ugly styling and still be compelling…..similar to the concept of a supermodel wearing an ugly dress. For me, its a hard pass for so many reasons, the styling is just one of them.
