Paradigm change. This may go down as one of the greatest product launches ever.

Exactly! But IMHO the Cybertrk will be the opposite, lots of reservations, very few actually sold.
Thanks for the link, happy to see those were there, very subtle. Think the wiper will use the new patent they published?

1. Tesla can't product 2 million trucks a year
2. that design allows them to make more trucks, quicker and cheaper
3. If they can't make all the trucks they can sell, no reason not to make them in a way that only appeals to some. They still can't make as many as they can sell either way. So focus on increasing output as opposed to pleasing everybody.

Cool pics with those Starship components in the background.

You really need to read some of the articles people posted explaining the benefits of this weird design. A chassis that was designed for an ICE is not ideal for an EV. The cab-on-frame design doesn’t lend itself well to a skateboard battery pack or good handling. Every other manufacturer except Tesla is making compromises for aesthetics. It’s about time people dump the old design and get used to something that works better for EVs. As usual, the company with some balls is going to drag the rest kicking and screaming.

It's almost a postcard:
Camping on Mars. Hiked Olympus Mons yesterday. No dust storms in the forecast. Supercharger was nearly full en route to Amazonis Planitia. Food is terrible.
I don’t get it. Of all the possible designs that people said they were hoping to see (including plenty of people here who have a deposit down) suggested they would want to see a faceted triangle on wheels - yet folks are drooling over this for some reason. I’m beginning to think you’d have ordered anything that rolled across the stage and defended it. Go back to the pre-event posts and see what most Tesla folks were hoping to see.

The specifications are impressive, especially for the 500+ mile range model. It isn't just about the different look.

If there were supporting, quantifiable arguments for it, then yes. Adapt or go extinct.
It appears to me that they all have serious problems. The first one to build in serious numbers will have huge advantage in sales, however I do not see any of these guys making the top 20 any time soon.
Lordstown - looks promising, but they seem like a long ways from producing a vehicle.
Bollinger - Way, way over priced.
Ford - Why would they want to undercut the biggest cash cow in their line up ? Will the Ford dealers even stock an EV ? (doubtful)
GM - EV-1 enough said.
Tesla - Ugliest dang thing on 4 wheels.

My daughter and I were making fun of the regular (now outdated) pickup trucks on the highway today.

It tickles me pink that everyone on the Tesla forums makes it sound like its gave over for all other trucks. People don't purchase vehicles purely on specs - and people certainly won't ignore the emotional response they feel regarding the physical form of their vehicle. I'm happy that Tesla secured 150k+ $100 reservations, but that is really meaningless until people start plunking down $40k+ for a full size truck that they probably don't need.
It's a 40k EV that seats 6, won't rust, and hauls a lot. It is also an arcade and home theater. Don't get trapped into thinking it is only a truck.
