What the heck is this ????

Adam Sandler song comes to mind...

Another funny one - true story, and not an isolated incident.
I saw a news blurb about it last week.

Spotted this at our little charging station in this very small town.What is this thing ? Obviously its electric.I had to snap some pics.View attachment 102028View attachment 102029

I think they look pretty cool. Would never pay for one though.

A fire hazard

Funny thing is, people paid a premium price to get on the list to buy one of these at $120k +. Now people are trying to sell them and Tesla has lowered the price so now you can buy a new one for cheaper than what the used ones are selling for.

If you look Wav, it's the only vehicle with sharp pointy knife edge body parts that skewer pedestrians. In other countries besides USA, they don't allow pointy sharp edges and that is considered a safety hazard.

I've watched a few videos on these things. I don't think they are any that are painted, they're wrapped with some kind of vinyl wrap or something. And you have to have that done yourself.

That makes sense. Either way they are hideous and ludicrously overpriced, but the wrapped ones are just the tiniest bit less offensive.

My main question - and this is the basis upon which I evaluate any truck or van that I would buy for myself:

Can I lay a 4x8 sheet of plywood flat in the vehicle?

So, kinda like any number of '80s era hair metal guitars?

Kewl!

I could carry 4x8 sheets INSIDE my 66 Impala station wagon !

Just saw one these yesterday.

Who thought this would sell?

 

[ibmorjamn]

The engineering and design department really went out of their way on the look.

There must have been a conversation like, what can we turn this thing in to. Here’s an idea, take this cracker box , slant the front and deck ,cut out the back and put some wheels on it. We will call it a truck.
$130,000

Roaming Dumpster. Riddled with problems.

 

[Session 5]

Really?
I was gonna say home made!!

The kid that designed it, used Lego blocks before putting it into production....

 

[Sapient]

Ok, I think it looks pretty sick, actually. I like very even and plain designs that are minimal. It's very balanced, chunky, and symmetrical looking. Again, I'd never ever pay for one though. I think it will be interesting reviewing this point in time like when we used to see "future cars" in the mid to later 1900's. We thought they looked WAY out here and just "not relatable". I think society is in this stage again with this jump. It will be status quo in the future when we are all stinking 6 feet into the Earth.

What the heck is this ????

ridiculous.

 

[rolandson]

...I wonder how those who dropped north of $100 large on these things purely for poseur points feel when they drive down the road and, instead of being admired and envied as they had anticipated...

are instead openly laughed at...?

That and they've all been recalled.

Except that RV looked cool.
