It's a four door DeLorean.

And every fake-ass "entrepreneur" and "producer" in SoCal will have one on a 15% loan.

Pre ordering now!

Musk:  No matter what I make, the lemmings will eat it up and buy it.

Duke:  No way.  Make the ugliest thing possible and try and sell it.

Yep that’s my impression as well

[Blarg]

Best conversion of an old car design is an AMC pacer to  truck

Worst is the Delorean to a Tesla Pickup.

it's the car from The Running Man.

i think this tesla truck was designed by the same inspired third graders that designed the kings outdoor game jersey.

Is he joking? Is he high again?

[Blarg]

I don't know. He just built a B Sci-Fi movie prop piece and yet people will buy it.

Like the rest, looks ugly as shit. Was hoping to see the inside. I went in one of the sedans recently for the first time and they are cool cars....it's like a big computer.

I saw this dude take a hit from Joe Rogan's joint, this dude doesn't get high. I have never even see rookies hit a joint like he did before.

My truck loving buddies are really pissed about this one.  Its amusing

This is a case where nobody objected to the boss' ideas.

I someone that objected to it, the market.

Was reading on Forbes or MarketWatch that the stock slid 6% and that Musk is down 770m after the announcement.

I have never been inside one of the sedans. I see a fair number of them on the roads here.

there's a showroom at the Americana and they have each of the cars inside. sat in two of them and they were very comfortable. lots of high tech stuff on the dash, including a feature that tells you where you can find Tesla charging stations. that would be extremely helpful on a long trip.

they show you all the different features you can add on, but one thing I don't like is that the basic colors are white or black, and if you want red or blue, you have to pay extra for it. for what they charge for one of their cars, that seems petty to me.

one of my kids' family has the SUV. the dad yesterday was talking about how they seem to have a lot of problems. I think they bought the first generation, something that wiser people tend not to do.

I don't understand any car company charging extra for any paint color. Given that cars today cost more than houses did in my father's day, and that they have to paint them (unless you're John DeLorean), it seems over the top.

BTW, I once saw a DeLorean that had been painted red, and it seemed odd after seeing them all in stainless steel.

if you have never driven a Model 3, I highly suggest you take one for a test drive. They are crazy.

You guys seem to forget that not all paint is created equal. Is it urethane or acrylic? Metallic or pearlescent?

If it's a flat paint sure it's basic, but the ones mentioned seem to have a different hue or pearl base to them.
