After driving American for a few weeks now, I've noticed I'm starting to look longingly at Mustangs, have even considered drinking a domestic beer ( I didn't but I thought about it) I think I'm coming down with something. :twisted:

Trying to win over Texans by giving them a new pickup truck sounds too stereotypical to be true, but that’s exactly what Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk is doing. What might a Tesla Truck look like? Digital artist Garrett Bradford created the above image using design cues from current Tesla models to come up with an educated guess.


I hate stuff like this. "What is it going to look like? We have no idea, but here is a wild ass guess!"

Glad to see there is some hope for you after all! One day there will be a Mustang in the garage, an American truck in the driveway, and a fridge full of Budweiser at the Hall residence. World peace will not be far behind!
