It will not be the finished product but the concept for a farm could be far more use than some of the electric car currently plugged :rolleyes:. Farm with lots of relatively short journeys, genuine need for 4wd and torque for towing plus huge buzz factor.

How far will it go pulling a 3.5 tonne trailer?

Has a 6 ton towing capacity! But unknown how towing will effect range. Could easily half it and more.

But as a farm vehicle this does make a lot more sense than other stuff if you can get past the looks. Its very cheap to run, has good clearance and you can park it by driving in a direction until you hit something!

Does seem tough though - launch video here:


My god it is the real thing its not a "concept" they actually made it look that bad !!!! the plus side from $39,000 dollars should make other E pickup makers keen on reducing their prices to sensible levels .
the monocoque what they call exoskeleton body is good idea to reduce weight form carrying a chassis around and being stainless will help corrosion resistance
Did you see the sneaky cheat in the video ?
when he hit the normal car door with the plastic sledge hammer he twisted it sideways so the side of the hammer hit the door when he it the tesla he used it as it should be used and hit it with the plastic coated end clever ;)

still think it is the ugliest vehicle ever most Teslar's look ok but not that , think Mars has maybe gone to Elons head and they designed a mars rover for him not a pickup for earth ! The US pickup market seems pretty conservative they want a pickup to look like a pickup and I cant see many accepting a change as dramatic as F150 looks to that sort of styling in a hurry that must play in to Rivians hands as offering a more conservative look with much the features such as range performance etc without to way out styling

The quad bike looks good !

Tailgate ramp is a great idea- why haven't existing pick-up makers thought of that

I agree on the tail ramp, but I suspect a bit of straw & sheep muck might cause it some problems on a ‘proper’ farm.

As for the quad, it looks like it was designed by the same drug addled art student that made the initial sketches for that hideous truck.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess....

Is it not a pretty small quad too? Or is the Tesla very big. A normal double cab pick up won't take a quad bike if you want to shut the back up.
