Maybe this is a strategic gamble to make a utility truck for construction sites that will survive the environment, or maybe it will appeal to doomsdayers. Let Rivian grow and do something ugly but functional? Whatcha think?

Not sure I agree with the Luxury truck thing. I know a lot of people that own trucks that cost more than the Cybertruck and are plenty luxurious even though they are used for work. I think people just want a truck to have a truck image. Cadillac and trucks (or Lincoln and trucks) don't go together.

As I said in my post in the Cybertruck thread, I sort of like it, and think it is potentially the best value proposition in the Tesla line-up.

I'm going with @Tcoat's recommended stealth fighter motif.
