news reports here say they already got 150000 orders in, since presentation..

huh?

An order is a "$100 returnable deposit". So yes they have lots via the webs site but how many turn into actual sales is another thing entirely. (~50% maybe?)
The scheme raises awareness and ads urgency. Like most things Elon does it's about marketing. (Some would say BS)

From CAR AND DRIVER:

"Unlike previous models, Elon Musk is ready. Telsa, claiming to be fully prepared for the influx of orders, has bought 1,000 harbor freight sheet metal brakes. Locally, 300 community college kids studying sheet metal/hvac fabrication are already hard at work. Bodywork on all 150,000 units should be completed by this Tuesday."

It just needs a big ol' pile of BS in that fancy bed...or I don't believe it's actually a truck :(.

Needs gull wings and Rev. Jim too :)

It will be a really nice eco-statement (low carbon footprint) truck for someone who really doesn't need a truck....more like a rolling billboard for their beliefs, rather than a viable hauling option.

Just about as worthless as a Chevy Avalanche, but costs more !

LOL.

Love him or hate him, yagotta admit, Elon goes out on the wire with no net. Balls. And lots of coke.

:D Yer KIll'n me Leaky & Wide... :D

yeah , fun thread :D

So you fill it with stuff for the dump and it burns it all by itself?

Those '70's era wedger were ugly, and still are.

The latest Musk-mobile is so fugly that if he really does colonize Mars and lands one there, I ain't goin'

Ha !!

Clearly not well set-up at all...........

Needs the optional stiffer anti-aircraft gun rear springs option
