I’m guessing it’s still a production line test unit, but it seems like the design is finalized and volume production could actually begin by the end of the year
My wife hopped a curb in our Model X last November. It’s still in the shop waiting for parts.
As much as I love that car, I wouldn’t recommend anyone consider a Tesla until they get their supply chain in order. Shit happens and cars get damaged; having to wait 9 months for repairs is hilariously unacceptable.
That’s not just a Tesla problem. I had to wait half a year for Acura to get parts to fix my car. At least it was (only) a safety feature and the car was still driveable during that time, but that is a ridiculous wait. Companies leaning out with their "just in time"supply chains have really come back to bite them in the ass over the past few years.

I mean, it’s not aerodynamic at all, so I’d be surprised.

Ah, I forgot there was a heated discussion around that. I have no idea how it compares to other trucks. I mostly meant to say that it’s still a truck. Even the most aerodynamic truck in the world is hardly energy-efficient.
I sincerely hope it stays the hell away from any European country.
Competition is good, even if you don’t like the company.
It’s not about competition for me. Teslas are alright I guess. For me, it’s about the big pointy stainless steel monster sharing the streets with smaller cars, cyclists, and pedestrians. I wouldn’t want to be hit by any car, but very much not by that car.
I’m sure it’ll do about as well as the Ford F150 does in Europe
