    I think the main market was supposed to be like a utility vehicle. It’s got some nice specs for actual work purposes for an electric vehicle, while saving money by not making a pretty body.

    I don’t know why some people like the look and want it for recreational use.

      It was supposed to be a utility vehicle but it genuinely failed. If I wanted a utility vehicle, I would get Toyota Land cruiser 79. For a utility vehicle, you need something reliable, something which does not have 246 useless electronic features and something you can drive while wearing gloves (you cannot so this with tesla considering every setup is made via the display).

      Tbh, to me is seems like a car which is made purely for city and for the ones who just want to show off. It definitely is not a proper workhorse.

      If I wanted a utility vehicle (which would be abused), I would look for:

      • big payload
      • 3 pedals
      • hand brake
      • steering wheel
      • 4x4, diff locks , transfer case
      • gear lever

      Nothing more is truly needed because it just adds the probability of failure.
