(DA-DUM, DA-DUM)

In the parking lot at a medical lab I visited this morning sat this ugly monster close to our car.



SWMBO asked me to photograph it but there didn't appear to be a name on the rear and neither one of us has any idea what it is.

But I'll bet some car freak in my vast blogosphere can tell us.

It sort of reminds me of the 50's Studebakers that looked like they were going two directions at once.

Wow...this vehicle has to be one of the most-mocked since the Chevy Corvair...Tesla's Cybertruck. Complaints are it's poorly built, joints don't fit, not fit for off-road, etc.

I should have known you'd know.

Isn't that top car a Muskmobile? Approved by Muskrat himself. Why didn't Trump's southern border wall keep that arrogant ****** out?

tc/Light/Breezes The Tesla truck. We have seen a few on the 1 (pacific coast highway) and the 101. They'll be on the rage on Mars!

It is hideous. I read somewhere that the Tesla Truck makes it easier to spot the a-holes in your town because they drive one. I don't know if that's true but it seems legit. ;)

I'd take the Studebaker in a NY minute, though.

Looks somewhat like the box cars I've been seeing on the freeway in my area, only a squished down version. Ugly it is, but some people live for the attention something like this affords them.

It is ugly, all those sharp edges instead of smooth curves. I guess the owner doesn't mind as long as it gets from A to B.

We had a '51 Studebaker . Great car even on the Farm.

I saw a black one like this the other day and thought it looked like an armored vehicle. I should have known it was a Musk Mobile... ugh.

Nancy Kissack said...

Yup ... they call it a truck. One lives across the street from me. SO many problems with it! They keep trying to make it an off road - on road vehicle ... and it's failing!

I was going to guess it was someone's homemade mockup of a DeLorean, but now I see (with help from the other commenters) that it is indeed a Tesla. Hideous!

Catalyst said...

My grandfather bought several Studebakers through those years.

It is ugly.

It would be a Tesla Truck. They are all over the city down here.

Debby said...

It is ugly, and the head of the company is an awful person too. I can't guess why anyone would even WANT one!

Bohemian said...

The infatuation with Teslas I just don't get... I think this Model is hideous, but out of the Mind of Elon, not particularly surprising.

One of those things is running around our very rural county. I think Margaret nailed it. Remember the Hummer? Same people probably drove those monsters.

Thanks for the picture. I had heard of them but this is the first photo.
