The sole positive is he can plug a welder into it...
But it's a hell of a lot cheaper to just put a generator in the bed of a real truck. Plus you won't accidentally use all your battery welding and be stuck. Since you can't just bring out a new battery, you'd have to tow it back.
Also, it costs $100k. No sane farmer is spending $100k on a work truck that's inevitably going to get really dirty and banged up.
And won't survive things like... getting sprayed with water.
You're being unreasonable, it's a farm not an ocean! Ever seen a water farm? Didn't think so.
It's called surface rust, and totally normal on stainless steel surfaces. Happens on Deloreans too and they're fine 50 years later.
Absolutely hilarious how people's hatred for Musk completely erases any sense of objectivity or rationality.
It's just rust bro, it's actually cool that your 100k truck rusts out of the factory. When it rains you just reset the car and it only takes 4 hours, who cars, don't you have a phone to watch 2 movies?
I don't know man, a lot of work trucks can get to six figures pretty easily once you start adding utility beds and the like. Especially if you start with a one ton.
I agree, but those people don't tend to be farmers, in my experience (or maybe I only know poor farmers).
Those are required features for interstate commuters.

Have you seen the bed of a cybertruck? It's barely usable
Not talking about the cyber truck. I'm talking about actual pickups. The Fords, the Chevys, the Rams, and the like. Stuff people actually use for work. You can't swap the bed on the cybertruck
It rhymes. Was it intentional? lol
