It was supposed to be a utility vehicle but it genuinely failed. If I wanted a utility vehicle, I would get Toyota Land cruiser 79. For a utility vehicle, you need something reliable, something which does not have 246 useless electronic features and something you can drive while wearing gloves (you cannot so this with tesla considering every setup is made via the display).

Tbh, to me is seems like a car which is made purely for city and for the ones who just want to show off. It definitely is not a proper workhorse.

If I wanted a utility vehicle (which would be abused), I would look for:

big payload
3 pedals
hand brake
steering wheel
4x4, diff locks , transfer case
gear lever

Nothing more is truly needed because it just adds the probability of failure.
