Saw my first tesla truck today

Just happened to park beside it when meeting a friend for lunch. What a massive monstrosity. I mean a monstrosity that is massively in your face. Ugliest thing I've ever seen. It doesn't even look useful for things you'd want a truck for. I've seen pictures of it, but you have to stand next to it to truly perceive how monstrous an eyesore it is.

It is even uglier in real life than the pictures would suggest.

I keep thinking it looks like a truck that a player would build or use in the video game Minecraft. Real life merging with video games....

I am in South Florida and I see them multiple times every day for the last year.

We must have been one of the early markets with a lot of dealers or something.

And they are as grotesque here as any other region.

I see a few wrapped also - you can put a pig in a dress….

Some of them seem to be simply to get a new different color.

Some are advertisements for some company. Although, I am not certain they are advertising what they think they are advertising.

...i already knew it was a overly angular nightmare.
Like you, the first time I saw one, I was surprised at how unwieldy it is.
Then, I read there's minimal hauling space.
It is like it was designed just to be annoying on the roads.

Parked diagonally taking up three marked spaces. “yes, I’m an asshole. Fuck you.”

I've seen them on the road a few times.

They are even worse up close.

I drive a mid size 10 yr old SUV and it dwarfed my vehicle.

What kind of a clown do you have to be to want to drive around in that shitty Panzerwagen?

My favorite pictures of this atrocity are the ones that raccoons have chewed up.
