I don't think pickup is by it's design. Rather it's by it's utility: flatbed to lug things around and horsepower to hitch wagons and other trailers.

But like I posted (too slowly)
The overall back end is not that dissimilar from a Chevy avalanche style truck bed with the weird extended side frames.
I, uh, I don't know. I'd be fine with it I think if it didn't slope down from the top all the way to the end of the bed. But 500 mile range is pretty gnarly. Pretty it up and I'd spend 70k on it
what are you talking about https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_truck
it has a cab, a bed and the capability to haul large loads. just because the sides go up high doesn't mean it isn't a pickup truck.
how is it closer to a sedan or suv?
US law requires a circular steering wheel at least 13 inches in diameter.
Butterfly wheels are specifically prohibited. The reason being that steering with such a wheel requires an incredibly small lock-to-lock steering diameter, which reduces overall steering resolution. These designs are desirable in things like Formula 1 cars with expert drivers, but are very unsafe for the general populace.
I get it meets the basics of what a truck is. But I still see it as closer to some kind of SUV.

Give it a bit I haven't upgraded my CPU or GPU this gen yet, once it loads in it looks really good I promise
I think the grey version looks dumb, but the black version that someone photoshoped, that one I actually really like lol
I hate it, but comments on Twitter and Reddit are all over the place. Maybe in 2 years when this is actually available it is normal.
Aerodynamic compared to what? That's the last thing I'd knock it for.
that's like the ugliest fucking thing i've ever seen
looks like the mass effect mako before the textures load
tesla's designers really shit the bed after the Model S. Made one gorgeous car and 3 straight garbage designs after

Don't bother with them, just late night internet warriors.
It's obviously a truck, by name, by design and by utility.
Oh, totally - I'm sure it's incredibly polarizing. We were just talking today about how she dislikes that concept cars "never look as cool" when they make it to production. If this is the final design, she is all over it.
With a traditional pickup, you have a nicely accessible area that you can just reach in a grab stuff, but here the only way in is through the tailgate, isn't that a bit of an issue?
As someone who grew up in the construction business, being able to access the bed from the sides is kind of an important utility.
If they weren't, nobody at Tesla understands the physical properties of Safety Glass.
Because that's how safety glass reacts when you throw a rock at it.
They literally had a different glass demo right before that to show how their glass wouldn't break, while normal glass would
I look forward to the day when someone writes a book on the gender politics of electric vehicles, the chapter for this thing will be wild. It's like Tesla was worried that the super-masculine truck guys wouldn't take their electric truck seriously without gasoline so they overcompensated on everything else and dialed the machismo to 11. The super strong steel and glass with live demonstrations that scream "Elon, hold my beer", the Bladerunner symbolism, and then ending with an ATV for good measure.
Apparently they didn't, at least not according to this article and the comparison image within.

Unless Tesla Armor Glass wasn't what they were using. I admittedly don't know much about this stuff.
lmao fr. Does Elon not have anything stronger than a Nintendo 64 to render his car?
