Indeed. It's more about the king of hype grossly overpromising and underdelivering, as well as antics of buyers/operators, than the product. That said, the monstrosity being discussed is uniquely mockworthy on its own.

Terrain on Mars includes vast areas similar to dry lakebeds on Earth. Of course this thread isn't about geology... so... staying on topic.

Must have been a 'choppy' jet ski launch. Not so much water on Mars.

I think they look really cool polished, but imagine being on the road with that reflecting the sun or headlights. Yikes!

I'm starting to warm up to the CT, especially the wrapped ones. The powershare home backup feature is really appealing too.

I'm still wanting to.like it.
But, I fear it will go down as the ugliest truck in history.

Maybe it will grow on me, I'll check back tomorrow. Lol

Huge depreciation. Only rich people who can throw away money own them.
