Truckla - Model 3 Pickup

Saw this mentioned in the comments of an article about this and I agree; Truckla is not a very good name. She should have gone with E-Camino.

The Subaru Baja ?

I was thinking the same. That form factor was a commercial failure in the 70s but I wonder if it could have a revival in an EV form with towing and a beefier suspension.

The Brat was sold in the 80's.

The funny thing about the Baja is that it has the highest resale value of any Subaru of that age. Turbo models go for $10k still (when new you could get them for the low $20k since no one wanted them then).

At first i thought this was gonna be a digimod...

How is this not on here. I need one now.

Simone is amazing, and this is her best thing yet! #TRUCKLA

There is a little accessory missing for making it a true cowboy truck...

I absolutely LOVE that there are people out there that will do these kinds of things.

See....in my generation I don't even know what a Camino is...as I've never seen one before. Truckla is an AWEsome name.

Really sad part of Simone though is that she has a brain tumor and it seems that even after the tumor removed it seems it has come back...and you can see it in her making of video.

What manner of witchcraft is this?!

Wow, so a station wagon is next? I sincerely hope so. Come on Elon ...

I'm not sure what the current status of her tumor is. The video you linked is from August 2018 and it sounded like things had been resolved as of the Truckla video, which was published yesterday.

The El Camino was a car built by Chevy and was a coupe utility vehicle; part 2 door coupe and part pickup truck. Basically the exact same form factor as what Simone created. It's a pretty well known car even though it isn't produced anymore. Chevrolet El Camino - Wikipedia

I'm really quite shocked that someone wouldn't know what an El Camino is. I'm in my 30's, this isn't something only older generations would know about.

Anyway, I still say she should have gone with E-Camino. Truckla just sounds sloppy.

As of Jan this year, she announced that it is back.

Did I catch correctly that she added a 120V outlet to the bed of Truckla? Umm, how do I add one of those to my car . . . ???

By voiding the warranty

Attach a good size inverter to the DC to DC converter under the rear seat. your warranty may vary.

She's finished treatment. They made a "mask" for her so she couldn't move her head when undergoing radiation therapy. She turned it into a lamp of sorts. This video is from May 29.

My mom had an extremely bad brain tumor 20+ years ago, 95% mortality rate, but she survived the multiple surgeries, and now she's 90. She also had that radiation mask thing as a souvenir. I wanted to turn it into a goalie mask.

This a Good Project. She can't wait until Tesla makes one. So she said I make my own. Power to the people!

Whilst I admire the pluck to do something like this - I think it looks fricken hideous.
