I've never been in one, but the design really looks challenging. I'm not sure it could beat the functionality of a standard "truck" and as a vehicle for "show" there be better options with more resale value out there.

It's basically a Model 3 drivetrain with a weird funny heavy gauge stainless body on it. I bet it kicks ass if you need a presentable daily but also tend to do a lot of stuff that tends to beat the crap out of a conventional car body. But how many people need that? Not many.

  The 4Runner is for that use case. Or a Subaru.

I agree with whatever fashion writer said the design would go hard if it were the size of like an og fiat 500 or a geo metro. As realized though it just Smacks of Gender.

    Boomer here. I have worked with Gen Z and I think I can translate. I think it is a little masculine looking?

      I think maybe more that it is masculine-insecurity looking. Like, just looking at one, one would be inclined to make unflattering assumptions about the owner.

        In other words; to state it directly but politely, the truck just screams "small penis". And a matching brain size is required to not realize this before making the purchase. In other words, it repels rather than attracts the opposite sex. It's like wearing a t-shirt that says "Don't date me!"

        There are now enough products marketed like this (I recently saw a product that was essentially being pitched as "coffee for men"), that I'm kind of wondering are people buying them ironically at this point. There can't be that large a market of totally un-self-aware men.
