1. Badass
2. Electric Powertrain - This allows for instant torque, throttle response, and torque vectoring with smooth but insane acceleration that feels like a sci-fi movie. Also it’s a truck that can have near zero emissions if mostly using solar. The cost advantage of electric coupled with anticipated reliability of the batteries/drivetrain/powertrain leads to a low cost of ownership for a vehicle of this type.
3. Vault - It’s ideal for camping with hvac and outlets running off battery. Also the enclosed vault is a game changer for mountain biking by preventing theft on road trips/overnight. It also provides a place to plug in electric mountain bikes. The 6.5 foot bed with a tail gate flip stop, potential pass through and rumored class leading width due to lack of wheel wells will be really practical for long (or wide) items.
4. Spacious interior - The full sized crew cab interior means loads of legroom, headroom, and shoulder room for the whole family on road trips. I’m also enamored with the body design. The slope of the a Pillar/windshield adds to the spaciousness and allows extra storage.
5. Durability - There‘s no need to worry about scratches to the paint. Trail scratches from offroading/overlanding can be worn with honor. 16 inches of stock ground clearance with a flat underbody is incredible! Also no need to worry about rust. I can own this vehicle for a LONG time with the durable stainless steel exoskeleton and million mile battery.
Regarding the Tesla armor glass, while it’s not necessarily bulletproof as a result of its lack of thickness, Tesla was saying the windshield might end up being able to stop a bullet (presumably from small arms fire) due to its slope increasing the effective thickness of the laminated layers. Here’s the link.
