Finally saw one over the weekend on the highway. It definitely stands out even from a distance.

I think it's awesome if you don't really take it seriously. What's the big deal?

Form over function:Making a left turn across traffic is particularly perilous as the combination of pillar and door mirror make it very difficult to see traffic coming from the right. That massive single wiper is another concession to the truck's unusual design. Its size and weight mean that at maximum speed it shakes the entire truck.

73 PHOTOSBehind you, the sloping roof and low-mounted rear crossmember obscure rear visibility, even with the tonneau cover open. Vehicles more than six or seven car lengths behind—a safe following distance freeway speeds—are completely invisible

Yup, its an absurd vehicle lol. I like how his tonneau cover was open so he could see out the back. Because, design!

To do that and then not offer a digital rear view mirror makes no sense to me. I get that the rear view then appears on the center screen, but I saw on the Out of Spec review that if you use your turn signal, the side view blind spot camera comes on and replaces the rear view...

Yep, more Tesla design interfaces that just dont make sense. Why wouldn't they just use an electronic rearview mirror?!
