The Taycan is a Porsche, and if you put your money on a Porsche it is not difficult to be right!

Tesla's truck unveiled and my stock went down $25 in a day


This looks like just the thing you need if you are a Somali warlord or a dystonia people-hunter from the future...

Thats one of the ugliest rolling vehicles I have ever seen. Terrible. Simply terrible. If I would win it in a lottery, I would immediately sell it, undriven, even uninspected. It not only leaves me uninterested - it instead actively keeps me away. Awful.

I like Bollinger's approach. EV, but everything else very low tech. Looks like an ugly version of the old Landrover.

Until I saw the price that is. $125,000 LMAO

500 mile mile range, 0-60 in 2.5 seconds, body strong enough to take a sledgehammer blow without denting, who cares about looks?, and they really aren't that bad in a simple utilitarian sort of way but I can see why some don't like them. Not girly looking enough i'm guessing.

That vehicle looks like it was driven on the Ugly Highway and hit every pothole.

Maybe but a few light bars, lift kit, equipment racks and other accessories (call me a Boomer but that dash needs some thick pile shag rug and a plastic Jesus) and you know it'll have a Mad Max appeal that will make it quite popular.

The nice thing about them would be that if you incur some body damage you could just cut out the section and rivet the front of a s.s. dishwasher into the area. I guess you get your cleaning products for it in the appliance isle?

Both Skybird and August is right.

The Car looks awful, so here i agree with Skybird

I also agree with August

It's not how a car looks like, but what it can perform and how trustworthy(can't find the correct word) it is.

"Reliable"

Sorry, that mess looks like a low budget prop in B sci-fi movie that went straight to video.

Can you imagine the ignominy of being the first pedestrian killed by the cybertruck?
