This gives insights to Elon's mind: If a design is taking too long, the design is wrong. Strive to delete parts and processes. Are we in the future or not? If not, who cares? Who is the Chief Engineer? It is me (Elon rjw). Everyone is a Chief Engineer ... you don't have subsystem optimization. Product errors reflect organization errors. Question your constraints.

Musk . . . . anyone that runs on 4hrs of sleep? his next space ship may very well be cube shaped . . . .
Does it mean the Tesla truck (the truck truck, not the cyberpunk blade runner thing) is a wrong design?
I'm just going to say - I ws present when GM unveiled the Pontiac Aztek. This..... well it's another Wth were you thinking moment. I don't know anyone who'd drive it.

Between busting out the windows that were ostensibly not supposed to bust, and musk stammering, he did not seem very well prepared. I couldn't take it any more than 10 or 15 minutes before I head to turn it off. As far as looks, the truck can't hardly be for the majority of farmers pulling a 10000 lb horse/cattle trailer or a bunch of hay bales. But maybe I'm in the minority. .
The market will decide (I am not in that market.) Great specs for my farming/ranching relatives. Bob Wilson
That looks to be some pretty low towing capacity. Works for some, but most around me are towing cars, sometimes 2 at a time. Bobcats, small tractors. Heck, my uncle and his son tied their trucks up to a combine and yanked it out of the mud. That's not going to be a truck that an actual truck user is going to be able to use. Those suburbanites to haul the trash - sure. lol {edit} maybe I shouldn't say "pretty low" But "below average". That being said, most I know who use their trucks as a truck are driving 3/4 ton.
The ratings are right in line with the F150's, and it exceeds the Ford's payload ratings. 2020 Ford® F-150 XL Truck | Model Highlights | Ford.com
Oooh, I didn't see that. That's good news. half ton truck though... Around my neck of the woods the majority are 3/4 ton. But they seem to be work trucks - all beat up, scratched and hauling about anything you can get in the bed along with a trailer. Big Cummins town here too. Which you may know makes the diesel engines for Dodge & Nissan
That's not a pick-up...that's a ????? Seriously though...he'd better get some main stream corporations and utilities to use and sign-off on these machines as practical and cost efficient. Additionally, mpg and environmental concerns are not going to win over a largely ego driven PU crowd...whether they need a PU or not.
