Suddenly the Truckla (Tesla pickup) makes more sense: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R35gWBtLCYg - the inventor is a Swede living in the US.

Made me pronounce it Trücklå.

Sadly, I failed to find a good El Camino pun name.

It's a shame Truckla isn't a real product.

I've got a truck (an older Tacoma) and too many hobbies that make it hard to give up, so I'll likely always have a truck.

If Tesla had introduced a factory version of Simone's, I'd be screaming at them to shut up and take my money.

This thing...I'm sorry, I can't get over the styling. I love the numbers, and don't even find the pricing to be too horrible, but there's no away I'll have something that looks like that. Maybe Tesla truck 2.0 will be worth looking at.

What's "Simone" in this context? (my name is Simone and I just got curious)

A fake commercial they made https://youtu.be/R35gWBtLCYg but the whole thing is fairly worth watching.
