- cpfohl 7y agoAn upvote just wasn't enough. I'm still laughing.
- Fricken 7y agoThe tent attachment really drives the point home: https://i.redd.it/0x2qva4ge6041.jpg https://i.redd.it/0x2qva4ge6041.jpg
- rjdagost 7y agoThat's right, the Aztek had a built-in pop-up tent for tailgating. Good memory!
- jason_slack 7y agoI owned an Aztek and it was actually one of my more favorite cars because I could sleep in it if needed. I also really loved the Honda Element. I spend many a night at a beach and was very comfortable.
- jjtheblunt 7y agoI feel same about my (purchased used from 1st owner) 1982 SAAB 900 turbo, which was versatile as could be, and a great car to drive.
- hef19898 7y agoDamn great car! I hope you still have it!
- jjtheblunt 7y agoSadly, totalled it in May 1990 avoiding an animal that ran out in front of me on a two lane country road with gravel, going a bit too fast. avoided the animal, thankfully, and wanted a new 900 turbo since, but they were only made a few more years.
- hef19898 7y agoDamn pitty, but as long as you weren't hurt who really cares about a car? They are getting rare, looked them up the other day. But then I realized one 82 car is the max I might be allowed!
- jjtheblunt 7y agoWe might be clones. I look them up too off and on. Hilarious.
- lloeki 7y agoMy current car is a '08 euro Civic (FN2), your typical hot hatch. Or maybe not! Fold the back seats down and the floor is flat, long/large enough to drop a camping mat or two and fall asleep while looking at the stars up through the rear window. The design was very divisive when it rolled out but I find it still looks awesome ten years down the road.
- pbhjpbhj 7y agoI love that look (not being sarcastic), reminds of my primary school car drawings! (still not being sarcastic, I'd totally get that car).
- longstation 7y agoThat's exactly what I said to my wife while watching the keynote.
- cdaringe 7y agoTotally. I doodled this truck all of the time. However, I'm not sure if the 70k USD model will be equipped with external rockets and bazookas like my sketches predicted
- JulianMorrison 7y agoIt's steel. Weld them on.
- hef19898 7y agoCan the batteries be used to power a welder? if so, can the welder just plug-in? If not and that feature is added, I want royaltees!
- poulsbohemian 7y agoFrom the Tesla website: "Prepare for every experience with a versatile utilitarian design — including on-board power and compressed air." squee!
- hef19898 7y agoWell, from a utility point of view not to bad. Earlier Defenders could be used as generators for farming machines. And having compressed air isn't the worst thing to have. Doesn't change the fact that it is ugly as f*.
- dpkonofa 7y agoI know I'm crazy but I think that looks cool as fuck.

- leesec 7y agoYou don't have to be crazy man. Some people like it some people don't.
- alias_neo 7y agoI wonder what the difference is between those of us who like how it looks and those who think it's disgusting. I honestly feel like it could be something out of Altered Carbon, or Cyberpunk 2077. Id love to drive a road car that looked like this.
- knodi123 7y agoI mean.... yeah. https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1647678-cybertruck https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/1647678-cybertruck
- alias_neo 7y agoPerfect, so I'll get to drive it in Cyberpunk :)
- dpkonofa 7y agoI think it's mostly the people that think it's too radical of a change. They expected Tesla to release a more conventional vehicle that looks like other trucks now. Considering that the first Tesla cars looked at least somewhat like the ICE cars in their class, it wasn't an unreasonable assumption. Also, the geometry of the body is more functional that it is for form and that probably puts at least a few people off.

- JulianMorrison 7y agoThe Millennium Falcon style pop out loading ramp is fun too.
- cattlemansgold 7y agoI believe that title has since been taken by the Nissan Juke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Juke#/media/File:2017_Nissan_Juke_Visia_1.6_Front.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Juke#/media/File:2017_N...
- Terretta 7y agoThat looks like they were ‘inspired’ by the love it or hate it Citroen DS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_DS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citroën_DS

- blaser-waffle 7y ago"In Europe, it is Nissan's second best-selling car behind the Qashqai. U.S. sales of the Juke are slowing in 2015, but the crossover sold 38,000 units in 2013 and 2014, and about 36,000 copies in 2011 and 2012.[28]"
- ryandrake 7y agoYou know what I'm tired of? Every 4-door sedan on the road looking like the same boring bar of soap on wheels. It's gotten to the point where all major car brands are indistinguishable from each other besides small details like the grill and headlights. Nobody has any imagination anymore. You guys laughing at "ugly" cars are part of the problem, and the reason why car manufacturers won't take any risks anymore.
- themagician 7y agoThat's the understated truth. All you do today is add a small detail like a full width light bar in the back and that's enough to distinguish the vehicle as unique or new or whatever. I think it's one of the reasons I like cars like the Kia Soul so much. They look… fun.
- Pxtl 7y agoIt actually has less to do with buyers and more to do with European pedestrian collision standards. Basically, modern cars are shaped to make sure that if they hit a pedestrian they'll safely roll onto the hood and off.
