> If you check out the reveal, you'll see that it doesn't have those rediculous covers
In the reveal the first truck does have the covers over the wheels, the second one doesn't. Check the livestream at about 3:00 [0]
Odd, the article I read had this image: https://c1cleantechnicacom-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/files/201... (or one like it), and looking at the video, it seems they had both on stage? Are there two models? It didn't seem to be discussed.
In the middle of the presentation, Elon mentioned that people were asking for a Pickup truck so they built a smaller version of a pickup truck. The one you linked to is that. They aren't taking orders for it.
The page does say "300 or 500 miles" for the range. Sounds like there's multiple models to me.

Ground clearance seems smaller because of how huge it is.
