QC issues aside, the design is pure ass

I thought it might grow on me but the flat tailgate looks absolutely atrocious like a door on some shitty commercial freezer or something.

I think I'd be more into it if it had a more distinct bed like a big El Camino

Right? It's not even a truck, but is somehow even worse.

It's one of the biggest pieces of evidence (besides X...) of Musk's growing mental illness and bubble of sycophants. I'm sure many very respected people in the field told him this would be a Very Bad Idea. I doubt any still work at Tesla. They should've had the first EV truck to market, now they're left only with this abomination.
