    If my truck was as ugly as that, I would drop the trailer and make it drive backwards.

    It's not that bad, the design just reflects the fact that it needs no hood. Wheel base looks as long as a long nose Pete though. Door behind the drivers seat might not be the safest thing either.

    I think it looks like a Volvo 780, and a Boeing 747, had a really good night, but forgot to take the day after pill.
    My only question is which was left paying child support for this basterd child?

    The model s isn't all that different looking than the average family sedan offered by Ford or Chevy. Even some of the Mercedes and Beemers are similar.

    The truck looks like a customized European cabover or a lot like the weird hybrid that Walmart was involved in developing a while back

    I still don't see why all these 'aero' prototype trucks still have mirrors. With todays technology a low profile camera system could replace it and project the image inside the cab so the driver never has to clean or defog. Plus without mirrors, it would have one less thing to fix after a Swifty or CRE drivers tries to back in next to you

    Seeing that the whole lower fairing and rear fender section looks to be one piece, what do you think that would look like after driving through some of those trailer drop lots?

    That is the most horrendous concept idea of a future electric truck I've ever seen.

    And it's also not a tesla... Nikola One truck (named after Nikola Tesla but a whole different company).
