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

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, a beefier suspension and some Tesla aerodynamics.

Seems like it would probably just make it handle like an old school convertibleYes, it’s impressive that a group of people with such a limited skillset took on a project of this size and with this kind of difficulty. This same project done by professional customizers, people that do this kind of work day in and day out, usually takes months to complete. I was cringing during the entire video though, they did so many things incorrectly that could have dire safety concerns at highway speeds. You never ever cut the main structure of a vehicle without first welding in braces to support the structure in its correct position so it does not move as you cut. And no, tie downs or bungee cords are not acceptable structural supports. Doing as they did and letting the body flex without proper bracing just changed the handling characteristics of the original design of that vehicle. You may not notice it driving at city speeds but once you start adding speed your frame with start twisting and flexing in ways it was never meant to
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.
And treated.It came back
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.
I’ll join you in echoing this “unpopular opinion”.
I’m a boring, unimaginative guy so I think would have just gotten a fold down 7 seater Model X.
How is this not on here. I need one now.

They love them in Australia so it would probably be an unpopular opinion there. Here, the vast majority of people want CUVs and traditional pickup trucks. I wish Tesla would make a wagon version of the Model 3 which is a body style that is pretty popular in the rest of the world.I don't think your opinion is unpopular at all. I think if something like this came from a company or a "professional" group we'd all be like WTF. While the end result is kinda meh, what it did have was character in terms of humor and hobbyist, we can view it from a different lens.
Would we ever want this done to our own cars? Hell no, but its a hilarious entertainment piece which is what she pulled off (and why she has had such high youtube success in her previous videos prior to Truckla). Not to mention that the popularity of the video lies in the demand for the concept itself (desire for a Tesla EV pickup) even if it is crap in design. That someone had the gall to do it, is why its gaining traction.
May be practical but I would certainly put a shell to make it more like a station wagon.Whilst I admire the pluck to do something like this - I think it looks fricken hideous.
I teared on that "key" part!Watching her key the trunk @ 6:52 on the build video makes me cringe. Love this. Really cool gal.
