I wonder if people don't want the truck because of its design or the association with Elon more.

How abut: The truck is just plain ugly.
It looks like a refuse bin. Square back, low opening front.
When I worked in a lime quarry, we used a bin something like that shape to put all the crap and garbage in The a-frame had a bar across the top and the kiln truck picked it up worth its hoist and loaded it on the back, and hauled away the load to the dump.
If he drops the price to about $8k and includes lifetime fast charging, I'd consider one. Of course, for $8k, there are plenty of much nicer used trucks available on the market, though.
Idunno, they seem like they'd be perpetual rotten fruit magnets. Like you'd have to hose them down a lot
And they actually have truck functions that trucks should have. And they aren’t completely useless if the iPad in the cab decides to not work

I would pay 10 bucks to use them in my survival kit as a fire starter.
Actually saw a Tesla with a Trump/Vance sticker on it today. I was already at 92% hate for Tesla. Thanks for making that 100% today stranger.

Oh no... anyway
I want to drive one into a brick wall. Not with me in it or anything. I figure I could do it just by setting it to auto-drive into a painting of a tunnel Looney Tunes style.

They're not worthless, im sure you can use them for scrap metal
You hate to see it, whomp whomp
I actually don't hate to see it
I can, explicitly and unequivocally, state that I derive intense joy from having the privilege of seeing this.
