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://inteng-storage.s3.amazonaws.com/img/iea/JYG0mpkD61/s...

- 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.

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.
