Don't know how practical it'll be in place of a Ford or GM that you won't mind if the bed gets dinged up, but just the overall look is pretty awesome. At least to me.

Aren't they going to release lower trims with less power? I would be perfectly content with a truck that has 300 hp. I wouldn't ever need a 600 hp monster like the lower existing trim has.
The single motor RWD version is supposed to have 315 hp. Whether it ever gets released is anyone's guess. Right now you can't order one.

There is no way someone parks that far away from another car and thinks it's normal to have that much distance when you open the driver door. I can't stand stuff like this. I'd never do anything to someone's property, but about 15 years ago I joked with my wife that I was going to buy an old 70's beater car and call it "Uncle Buck" and patrol around and when I saw someone parked like this I'd just leave the car parked directly behind them, walk away, and pay for my car to get towed. Effectively turn myself into a local, unknown superhero. Might still do it.

They are putting the Tesla truck through a field of different test and obstacles. Didn’t look bad to me imo

In your opinion…

I had a friend growing up who used to park his car (Geo Tracker of all things!) like this. Until after I parked next to him on the driver's side a few times, door handles almost touching. I was on the line, but fully in the space. He eventually decided he didn't like climbing in from the passenger side.

Unfortunately that'd be less effective today, with features like Summon and Smart Park.

I saw a new 7 series parked diagonally across 4 spots on Sunday. I should've taken a picture

These tests are actually how some truck owners use their truck whether it’s towing, offroad, roadtrips, commuting. I would’ve like to see them compare the Tesla truck alongside a 1/2 ton truck.
