This is the first time I have seen a production vehicle's design to be less realistic (in terms of usability, component reuse, artistic freedom, etc) than it's artistic renders.

Here's a few artist imagined renders, and to be honest, they would be a lot less likely to get an April 1st calendar check reaction:

- https://www.teslarati.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/tesla-p...

Whether it looks hideous or not would still depend on personal preferences though. I like the fact that it looks, well like a concept car, but it isn't.

These look so so boring

Funny enough my first impression was that the teslarati-image was the real one and the official one from tesla was the fake one. Had to double check.

This new truck doesn't follow Tesla's former design language.

Absolutely bizarre.

The concept renders both assume, which we all did, that Tesla would remain consistent with a design language that's been successful.

Neither of those renders follows the Roadster / S / 3 / X design language. They look like something Honda or Nissan would come up with.

Still closer than the Cybertron, sorry, Cybertruck, so.
