It's been a very quick ramp up to 90% self-driving capability, but the last 10% is going to take a lot longer than people realize.
- The sloped sides of the bed make it impractical for loading stuff in/out.
- Have to go to the most expensive tri-motor option to get the most range. Towing capacity on dual-motor is also lower than I would like.
- Won't ever see production in its current form anyway because certain features aren't legal/probably never will be. Crumple zones exist for a reason - it's not a good idea to send everyone out there on public roads in a tank with a regular driver license.
- Tesla also compares it to other 1/2 Ton pickups (F-150, Silverado 1500, etc) but it's almost certainly in the next class up, the 3/4 Ton F-250, 2500, etc based on its weight, size, and price. When you compare it to those vehicles the capabilities are much less impressive.

Don't take my complaints the wrong way. I do want a Tesla Truck. I just don't want this Tesla Truck. Give me one that has the style of the Rivian and I'm in. https://rivian.com/r1t/
