Wheels are different and the hood is a lot shorter with a steeper slope. Still kinda shocked that they were able to make something this close to the original though. Fuck musk and tesla as a company, but the engineers have designed a car that nobody would’ve thought possible a few years ago.
You’re absolutely right. it was possible decades ago. And then safety and emmission regulations made these silhouettes almost impossible to design and legally sell to consumers. This truck could not exist ten years ago as an ICE or before advances in EV tech made it possible for this design to make it to production while still meeting regulation.
they made this car for one reason: marketing
The same thing can be said about pretty much any automakers flagship models, which are usually sold for barely above cost or even at a loss. They’re just a way to get consumers in the door to buy the more profitable models.

This was possible decades ago, what? Its just an incredible eyesore and inefficient so no one bothered.
