You and I have very different definitions of “proven.” They only seem to work great in snow.

Hey now. I won’t disagree. We all have our version of pretty. I think it’s a sexy truck, but in the same way I think a Humvee is a sexy truck. I’m a pure function over form kind of guy. There is no wrong when it comes to personal taste, because…. Well, that’s personal! ?

Sorry Crissa, but you have an obnoxious, know it all attitude on almost every thread. You’re blatantly wrong here. Just let it go. You have some very valuable input on many threads, and we appreciate it. Please just stick to what you know.

So you still think a square peg will fit in a triangle hole?

Are you so desperate to be right that you blatantly ignore everything sitting in front of you? I’ve tried to be be nice, but I could hold a more intelligent conversation with a fire hydrant. In case you haven’t noticed, nobody weighed in on your side, yet plenty weighed in on the side of...

It extends all the way to the top of the cab. Sometimes I wish I could live in the weird, imaginary place that you do. Anyone who played the game as a kid where you had to put different shaped pegs into different shaped holes could figure this out. You have this weird opinion that the square...

At least in this case, there’s an excuse to go ugly. I believe in function over form. I’ll go ugly every time if it makes sense!

Let’s go with baby steps. Are they horizontal? Yes or no?

It has sails. Period. What part is confusing you?

The problem was that the offer was mediocre and I’ve heard one too many horror stories from industry friends that worked there. It’d be a ton of fun to work in design, but my engineering background is in industrial automation and robotics. Despite his genius, Elon’s kind of a dingbat in that...

The Rivian is just weirdly ugly to me. The CT is so over the top ugly, it appeals to my weird tastes.

There absolutely is. A few others already explained it. Shell campers over hang the side of the bed to gain space. The sails will get in the way of this. It’s no big deal. The people who use shell campers are probably 0.5% of truck owners. I don’t mind giving up that ability in the name of...

Believe it or not, too much hype can hurt you. I’ll use my current company as an example. Demand has skyrocketed, and we’re running production around the clock, including weekends. Then we went ahead and launched a new monster of an engine that accidentally opened up a pile of new orders. Now...

Just to add, the camper is going to suffer because of the “sails.” A lot of interior room will go away. You can’t expect the truck to do everything well.

There’s just no point in advertising right now. I used to work in marketing before switching to an engineering career. Why spend money to market a product when the current demand already exceeds your ability to fill orders?
