I made this...

Clearly Elon's living his best 80's life.
It looks like something I would make having no idea how to make a car.

The vehicles have an average selling value of more than $50,000...

The truck's windows were smashed during a demonstration supposed to show how hard they were to break...it happened during a segment displaying how the car's stainless steel exterior, and metal windows, could withstand bullets and sledgehammers

Well let's hope the Russian mafia won't be put off too much.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Pedo truck

[Cuellar]

It's obviously hideous and I have no need for such a truck, but I do sort of love it

[touchingcloth]

Finally! I sent that drawing to Elon weeks ago, but I never thought it would see the light of day because the £500,000 he wired me seems somehow too little for the design of an actual car.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Looks like it's from the South Park version of Canada. It'd make a good jihadi weapon though, those sharp right angled corners look lethal.

[Butchers Blind]

I keep looking at it and I'm convinced at some point Elon's going to go "Ahhhh... gotcha!" and then reveal the actual car.

[bgmnts]

I actually like it, it's something Robocop or Judge Dredd would drive.

That's exactly why its not worth it. Engineering the future to look like the past's interpretation of the future.

If it's a Tesla it also has a good shot at being the next Canyonero

I kind of like it too... or at least appreciate how batshit it is to actually pour millions of dollars into something that looks that stupid. The Simpsons reference upthread is right on the money.

According to that BBC article this is meant to be a pick-up truck? I'm no businessman but I know Americans love their pick-ups -and I'm at least vaguely aware of the kind of Americans that love their pick-ups. I cannot imagine a single one of them spunking $40000 on whatever the fuck that is.

It is a half-formed thing.

Three guys (out of six, total) at work have got new Chevy trucks in the last year, the cheapest was $53000
Truck styling has gone increasingly "big rig" recently. The front ends are so tall and bulky that I can't reach the dipstick to check the oil without standing on something. I'm 6' tall ffs.

And now I'm stuck singing the Canyonero jingle for tbe rest of the day.

I don't think it's really aimed at your typical American pickup trucker, more the extremely-wealthy-but-extremely-tasteless global market. The fact it looks a bit like an armoured vehicle and the (not entirely successful) emphasis on not being able to smash you way into it also suggests it's not primarily designed for middle class American suburbs.

Obviously a test mule. Probably a response to the all electric Bollinger B2:

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

An 80s Lamborghini chassis strapped to some fuck off massive tyres is pretty much what a 48 year old man child with more money than sense would design.

[Butchers Blind]

Just realised, there's no wing mirrors on it.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Or headlights. Bet the cunt doesn't even have a steering wheel.

Edit: It does have headlights. I am silly.

[Icehaven]

Is it one of those self driving malarkeys? I'm presuming it is as the angle of that windscreen doesn't look particularly easy to see through.

Hmm... Wonder where they got their styling cues from.

[Head Gardener]

[PlanktonSideburns]

bloody hell, thats a pure rip isnt it? where is that original design from?

pains me to say that i quite like the shape of it. making myself feel better about liking something musk has done by pretending that grimes helped him with the design

[buttgammon]

And (some) people venerate this man as a genius?

[PlanktonSideburns]

anyone online tried to make a joke about it being a man-deloriean?

[Urinal Cake]

The design is whatever. The funniest things are the shatterproof windows that shattered. Twice. Great engineering Musk!

[Bizarro Mark Bosnich]

And (some) people venerate this man as a genius?

I half-remember Chapo Trap House making the point that he's probably only revered as much as he is because there aren't really any other visionary scientists/inventors/engineers going who offer up a remotely positive and exciting sci-fi future like he does. You can see how desperate the situation is right now when this schmuck is compared with Edison and Tesla.

[The Boston Crab]

Apparently all sold out so looks like another success for Elon.
