The issue here is not that it is a future "Blade Runner" style, it's that it is an UNATTRACTIVE future Blade Runner style! I mean it really does miss the mark as being neither "cool Blade Runner" or "Military Look". I'm sure it will grow on me to a degree, but disappointing overall...

This truck design had better be a joke....

Now I know why Tesla was able to keep this design such a big secret -- because no media outlet wanted to pay to publish spy photos of it!

Same. Had thoughts on trading in my Model 3, but not for this. Maybe Rivian?
I was at the Chevy dealer today at saw the new C8 and was so impressed! Now this! Darn I have been so excited about this truck and now this! I kept saying he is going to take the steel off and the real truck is under this ugly body! So disappointed
No. The El Camino is a classic.
This is a Honda Ridgeline that a high school shop student added Delorean panels to.
You'd have to get to Level 3 on the bullet resistance to make any inroads with people really worried about security. This is optimistically Level 1. My guess is the video he showed was not a jacketed round.
- Level 1: Refers to bullet resistant glass able to withstand fire from small caliber handguns. It must be able to resist a minimum of three 9mm FMJs traveling at a minimum velocity of 1,175 feet per second (f/s)
- Level 2: Defines bullet resistant glass designed to withstand fire from larger caliber handguns. It must withstand at least three shots of .357 magnum soft points traveling at a velocity of 1,250f/s.
- Level 3: Refers to bullet resistant glass that can withstand a minimum of three shots of .44 magnum rounds at a velocity of 1350f/s.
- Level 4: Represents a step-up in terms of ballistics resistance. It defines bullet resistant glass that can withstand at least one shot from a .30 caliber rifle with a minimum velocity of 2540f/s.
- Level 5: Covers bulletproof glass designated to withstand at least one 7.62mm rifle FMJ with a velocity of at least 2750f/s.
- Level 6: Is a direct improvement on Level 1, designed to withstand at least five 9mm rounds traveling at an elevated minimum velocity of 1400f/s.
- Level 7: Defines bullet resistant glass designed to withstand multiple hits with 5.56 rifle FMJs with a minimum velocity of 3080f/s.
- Level 8: Designates the highest level of protection available in bullet resistant glass. This level is tested to withstand at least five shots from a 7.62mm rifle.

I wasn’t really interested in this but the thought of parking in a parking lot and giving zero shits about who parks next to me would make my life more relaxing. And I guess my ride height concerns would go away.
But I guess according to some here I need to go off grid and reclaim my toilet waste into drinking water first and prepare to run over the NPCs riding scooters and NPCs sweeping the dirt off the middle of the road. I don’t think the truck is that bad but it has been a long day.

I see this pulling in the Hummer/ H2 crowd.
The looks are actually sort of growing on me. Got that military transport vibe from the front and rear, side profile is terrible. It’s equally ugly as the Rivian just in a completely different way.

Honestly, it's not that bad. Sure, it isn't your typical pick-up and maybe that's a good thing.

if you did actually manage to dent it, I wouldn't want to know what that would cost to remove... and if anyone would survive such an impact...
What do you mean it has a large bed? It has only a 6.5 ft bed like most of the "commuter" F-150s. Real trucks have 8 ft beds that you can load stuff in with a forklift or bucket loader. Not angled sides like this. And this thing won't even carry a regular old sheet of plywood without it getting wet in the Seattle rain.
