I'm picturing that trying to move with a few inches of wet snow. It's a great visual. Also, can you imagine the cost of that as a consumable that should usually be replaced every month or three?

The rear view mirror was there, but the view was blocked by the tonneau cover. Which does seem unfortunate to me.

You're kinder than I am, ascribing an actual staffing problem to their layoffs. All I see and hear these days is, "We want to bump up our share prices, and it's easiest to just lay off some people."

Stainless steel has been around longer than cars. I'd say it's fairly safe to assume that some R&D department has done exactly that. Their criteria was probably slightly different than Tesla's, but reduced costs (pennies

Body panel angles and speed are the big ones. Or, to put it another way, can a soft body deform around the vehicle and be thrown away from the impact? The sharp wedge shape from the front grille to the hood kinda says "No" to me.

I get this sentiment, and can even echo it a bit, but I don't believe this is a positive direction for trucks to be taking. It's still too large, not functional enough as a truck, and focuses more on status an a "look" t
