  1. My conclusion is no truck buyer wants a stainless steel wedge on wheels. So we can watch tesla nearly flop again as this thing gets zero sales.

  2. 10:27 NAILED IT. All the damn hipsters DON'T GET TRUCK OWNERS. Especially not old farmers or construction guys. And they DIDN'T MAKE a truck. They made a stainless steel wedge on wheels.....

  4. Everyone who KNOWS Mercedes-Benz will tell you they sent in the accountants to run the place snd started going cheap in 1995. And were ALL CRAP after that. My uncles friend has a Mercedes Benz dealership and will tell you anything over 10 years old will be a nightmare. Young IDIOTS who weren't even EXISTING in 1995 will tell you all Mercedes-Benz are infallible and never fail. Because they don't even own one.

  5. No. It's weight. That's the main point.

  8. Don't tell me this is just a souped a 3.3 lambda version 2. Basically the Kia Sedona engine.... which is a GDI smaller piston version of the 3.8 litre 2008 sedona (the one that had junk plastic in the timing chain guides). I know kias fairly well..... just not the stinger. I do know that the US one had the paint going bad within less than 2 years in some.

  9.  @TheHorsepowerJunkie  A company that has come close to the brink over and over and who has ZERO IDEA OF WHAT CONSTRUCTION GUYS AND FARMERS WANT in a truck. Very VERY FEW of those guys could even be convinced to go electric. But then to top it off, they're trying to sell a stainless steel wedge on wheels. This will FLOP BADLY. Not helped by the fact this was designed by a bunch of hipsters with ZERO INPUT from truck owners..... and hipsters don't realize that the rest of the world doesn't think like them.

  10. I remember ALL THE HIPSTERS trying to justify WHY OLD FARMERS would ditch gas trucks to buy an electric tesla truck..... NO IDEA WHO THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. These are guys who haven't changed their brand of coffee in 40 years.... and then EVEN IF THEY DID accept an electric truck IT WON'T BE A STAINLESS STEEL WEDGE.....

  11. People want a truck that looks like a truck. Not a stainless steel wedge on wheels.
