Another way to look at it: It's a an SUV with an open cargo area.

It does seem like a new age Ford sport Trac or whatever those were called. Small bed, can haul the family around. They seemed to do well for a while
[Reply]

It has a bigger bed and seats more people. It's almost exactly like any current full size short bed crew cab truck, only electric.

The biggest strike against this truck for the worker who works from a pickup is when your out in middle of nowhere something goes wrong with it. Who the hell to call? Your stuck time is money that there seals its fate as a fleet truck. But this isn't the market Elon is after he is looking for the cool factor crowd.

I'm guessing this version is not meant to replace the F-350 super duty
[Reply]

It wont replace a working F150 or 1500 either.

Almost as though they didn't set out to design a work truck!

Whats the point of a truck then? A SUV would be a better alternative if your going to tow a boat or trailer for camping.
[Reply]

You'd have to ask the tens of millions of people driving trucks that rarely or never tow anything I suppose.

You cannot haul as much with an SUV as you can with a truck. The bed of the truck is no limited height wise like the SUV, i.e. you can haul appliances as well as many many other things you cannot in an SUV.
Fewer and Fewer people are "camping". They either have an RV they pull or stay in motels.

What was the point of the El Camino?
[Reply]

Because Harley Earl was a design genious.

Well they are stupid I drive trucks for work most of my life. I own the biggest sedan I can afford for the comfort.

Aturnis just typed out a novella explaining how it can do everything my work pickup can do but 4000% better.

One of the two of you is wrong.
[Reply]

Hmm, have you driven the newer, last 5 years, 4 door pickups or the Denali Yukon? They ride and have more comfortable seats than any large domestic sedan and most sedans under $40K.
