I think the truck is like dating an exciting but shallow person who doesn't care about you.
The truck is extremely fast, with excellent steering, suspension and lots of other groundbreaking technology.
But it is basically user-hostile. No dashboard, no stalks for turn signals or gear selection, and everything is on the central touchscreen. And that is super cluttered and impossible to do important things without looking away from your driving and jabbing at a moving touch point.
It makes you a worse driver, and you're spending 100k.
Honestly, give it a dashboard. Add stalks for turn signals, wiper, headlight, gear selection. Give it a few dedicated buttons for things you need to reach by touch (defrost, mute/volume, internal/external lights) and lots of animosity would go away. Make it an option for $5k! people will pay.
EDIT: they are learning. The wrapped black ones don't look terrible.
- seanp2k2 2y agoOooooh, is this why I see so many Teslas not using their turn signals? How did that even get regulatory approval (though I guess not in the EU)?
- Symbiote 2y agoTesla has approval for no turn signal stalks on their other model in the EU. I don't know why. It's the reason they don't indicate when leaving a roundabout.
- CrimsonRain 2y agoNo dashboard, no stalks, no extra buttons are needed. The voice control works just fine.

- nolok 2y agoAh yes voice control, the one thing we have found to be worse than touchscreen to control a car's interface and serve no practical purpose over physical button beside looking pseudo better and saving you time on paper but not really.
