One of the last things I did with my father (a retired physics professor), in 2012, was demonstrate what we could do with an iPhone (talk, navigate, music, etc.). He couldn’t speak but his eyes sure twinkled in appreciation and he smiled for our selfie. He died a couple of weeks later.

He would sure have been blown away by the CT and FSD.

When the truck was first unveiled, I hated it. For about 48 hours.
That's funny, I had a similar experience, when it was first revealed in 2019, I thought it was a cruel prank and that Elon was going to pull a ripcord that caused all those flat panels to drop away leaving a stylish truck underneath. But as Elon explained how it was made, with super hard stainless steel that couldn't be stamped into compound curves, I started to get it. Then the look started to grow on me, and when Elon said ordering was open I was frantically placing my order.

Once I understood, I liked the product at the reveal, and then they did some design tweaks over the years that made it look even better. It still seems kind of "thick" around the bed, but that's a compromise for cargo volume that I'm happy to make. Even before the design tweaks I thought it looked better than the "frumpy" look of traditional trucks. It's a modern masterpiece actually. Mostly of engineering, but the look is modern, practical and iconic too.

Needless to say, I came around, but here’s me right after the event (after proclaiming for months publicly that this was going to be my next vehicle):

This fan render was "meh, ok" for me, as I wanted an actual truck that was tough and could take a beating. This type of design, like all modern pickups, is fragile. I'm sincerely glad they didn't go this route as now it looks so insanely dated lol.

I had a hard chuckle when they did the bit about removing the badging from other trucks and they all blended together lol. Every single other truck by comparison is bland, boring, and uninspired.

that was a fun video! Thx for that lol. I gotta say, I was afraid he'd pull that ripcord to pull a prank at the reveal. I loved it from the get-go because I've always been a fan of the 1982 blade runner vehicles and the CT fits right in, so I was all about it!
