I mean I respect the opinion. I honestly think the design just needs to be workshopped. You could absolutely market a futuristic all metal pickup with bullet proof windows and all the other stupid shit it does. It’s just the design that’s the problem. It’s all Elon, and as we know now Elon is actually dumb as fuck. He’s a guy who mistook his type two bipolar symptoms as ‘flashes of genius’, got lucky in the dot com boom, and is now too rich to be told no.
You need that guy in your corner that says ‘I like the first draft Elon, but what if we changed a few things, I think you’re on to something’. Elon fired all those guys. And he probably flatly refused to change his initial design. So we have this stupid shit.
All I can think about when I hear about how this guy conducts himself in business is Gavin Belson from Silicon Valley
I mean, I doubt he did any of the designing of the truck at all...he may have pointed at some presented options and selected this one, but that's probably the most "designing" he did...this is the shitty design-work of other people, put on display by him.
