I find his suffering amusing.
i mean. Seriously. who shells out that kinda dough for the downpayment on a vehicle that wasn't even in production, by a company as shitty and inexperienced in truck-making as Tesla; whose car line has (almost) always been plagued by shitty QC... ???
Like I don't know that I'd worry too much about buying a car- even a new model-design- from a reputable car maker (Toyota, Honda. Subaru. you know people who have... a certain kind of reputation...)
The truck is so ridiculously over engineered it makes the Teslas seem pragmatic. it's so heavy that it can't even take a normal off road loading, or it's suspension craps out. it can't go off road, can't hill climb. the truck-bed in the back is practically inaccessible. The thing was designed for asthetics- and those asthetics have more in common with a 5 yo's conception drawn in crayon on the back of a napkin than an actual vehicle; and the form-over-function approach has severely crippled the thing.
Oh. and they didn't even give it a clear coat. so. you know. that overpriced scrap metal is going to rust.
(actually, I'm a bit surprised scrappers are stripping it already...)
