I expected a lot better of a tow rating. They've made the claims that it can tow 300,000 lbs. There are videos that show the Model X pulling a jet that weighs almost that much, or a Model S pulling a stuck semi and trailer uphill in the snow. Then they rate the base model at 7000 lbs tow rating, and the highest trim at 14,000.

Then you've got unbreakable windows that break. It still seems like a good truck, I just wish they wouldn't use overly bold claims or deceptive advertising.

14,000lbs is pretty impressive for a “1/2 ton truck”

I can PULL a lot, just not bumper tow it.

I think that truck will sell. Tesla's are all over the place here in Las Vegas area; can't get out of sight of one.
Those pickup trucks will be as popular and they're relatively cheap at $39,900.00 & I saw one article that had around $38,500.00

Tesla says the body of the pickup truck — made of "ultra-hard" stainless steel and armored glass — is almost impenetrable.

Looks aren't that important to me.
I look for price and reliability and spacious interior.
I'd buy a Tesla pickup.

Looks like the Lamborghini Countach Concept from 1971... made into a pickup.

Or a Hot Wheels of the same vintage.
