Haha oh man here we go. I say go for it, you need both!
PS. How funny was it both windows break during the demo and he has to present the rest of the show looking all sad.
That was a surprise. Shock? Kept waiting for Elon to the joke and reveal the real design. Not my cup of tea on design, but trying to understand the technicalities.
From a stats POV, this truck absolutely kills it. When compared to Rivian, really shows how much farther Tesla is ahead.
Comparing the mid-grade 300+ mile variants Tesla to Rivian (% delta):
$50k to $80k (60% cheaper)
250 kw to 170 kw charging (47% faster)
6 seats to 5 seats
6.5' ft to 4.5' bed (40% longer)
16" to 14.1" ground clearance (13% more clearance)
14k lbs to 11k lbs towing (27% more towing)
3,350lbs to 1,760lbs payload (90% more payload)
If that's not a kill, I don't know what is. This doesn't even speak to the material choice potential advantages.
Or potential drawbacks if one is focused on design... Trying to wrap my head around it. The choice of material they picked - hardened cold rolled steel - is a unique one. Perhaps they thought there were enough advantages and reasons to go this route. Choosing a material like this dictated the angular design.
Fully hardened steel has poor formability. It is hardened with low ductility. Metals like these aren't very conducive to stamping or being drawn into shapes.
Which dictates its aesthetic design.
If there's a plus side, the design language is not far from the aftermarket plate bumpers and parts that share these angular features?
it looks good cause you believe everything Musk is saying. Remember the 35K Model 3? Neither does anyone else cause it never materialized.
It amazes me people just swallow up the nonsense Musk spews, hook, line and sinker. His own demo was a failure "Shatterproof" windows both broke during his demo. But hey, everything else was right on............

You should open your eyes a bit. The $35k Model 3 has been available for awhile now.
