Yeah, seems the stainless look is probably the worst look for that truck. All the wraps I've seen look better.

It was a noble experiment, hopefully Tesla takes what it learned (and the tech) and uses it to build better vehicles

LiDAR allows a vehicle to be so beautiful wouldn't you agree?

Granted it isn't fully operational yet due to software delays, but the Volvo EX90 has built in lidar, and the hardware integration is reasonably subtle.

Mercedes drive pilot also has built in Lidar. Im not that familiar with Lidar, but this one is hidden behind the grill so not sure if it spins or not.

Genesis will not be bringing the refreshed longer wheelbase G80 EV here. Thats a real bummer, this is a car I would have considered. So no more EV G80 for the US

I wonder if they might take the opportunity to also build an all-EV Pacifica?

That's a bummer. I think that would have a good market in the US.

Wow...from Torque News. Who knew

I Test Drove a 2025 Honda Accord Sport and a 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, Just to Compare, But Honestly, the Accord Isn’t Even In the Same League

A Tesla Model 3 owner did his homework and jumped from an ICE vehicle to an electric car, and he's not impressed with the 2025 Honda Accord Sport. Check out the comparison and see if you are ready to make the leap like this new Tesla Model 3 owner did

No comparison there lol. To be fair though the person said his life goal was to own a Tesla, so clearly there was no chance he was going to choose a Honda Accord over one.

Of course there is. They are both appliances priced about the same. How can you say that?
