Yeah, because that's what all the F150 buyers of the world really wanted, an angular flat-paneled ridiculous movie prop. This thing alienates far more than it

Yeah, because that's what all the F150 buyers of the world really wanted, an angular flat-paneled ridiculous movie prop.
This thing alienates far more than it attracts in the pickup truck market.
- et2o 7y agoF150s have been getting more and more like this, this is exactly what they want.
- afterburner 7y agoF150s still have curved sections... this is more like the F-117.
- infinitybeyond 7y agoDid you see the photo of the F-117 when they were showing inspirations for it?
- newnewpdro 7y agoWhich makes perfect sense, pickup trucks do benefit from a reduced radar signature greater than lighter weight body panels that are equally strong...
- syshum 7y agoAs a Long time F150 Buyer, no we do not
- look_lookatme 7y agoHear hear.
- jenkinstrigger 7y agook sure, but what if they paint it red?
- whysohardtoc 7y agoFlat panel is what trucks have needed to go back to. Get a bad dent or the garbage is rusting out? Cut it out and weld some sheet on top. No need buy an entire door or go to a body shop.
- tomcooks 7y agoFlat panels are less secure, because flat surfaces are less stiff than curved or creased surfaces (theory you can easily test with a piece of paper).
- CamperBob2 7y agoDid you watch the video? They "tested" it with a sledgehammer.
- tomcooks 7y agoYes, and the panels in this truck have a reinforcing crease. I was referring to parent comment
- usrusr 7y agoThe DeLorean isn't exactly famed for body repairability and this is just that, a DeLorean grotesquely inflated to light tank scale.
- IAmGraydon 7y agoAre you being serious? This is a Tesla. You think people are going to repair them by welding steel sheet on top?
- sgt 7y agoNot immediately but if this thing is as indestructible as it looks, after 10 years of hard use, new battery pack, it's not hard to imagine that it'll be fixed by welding steel panels on it.
