There's a reason most concept cars don't make it to production.

What are the reasons that truck shouldn't have entered production? I can think of a few myself (pedestrian safety, ugly, not bulletproof and shouldn't even ostensibly be, etc) but none of these reasons seem to be related to the actual technical innovations which are apparently in the truck. So where is the relevance?

It’s selling like shit. And this was before the whole Tesla vibe shift. Instead of a leading-edge $25k EV we got a truck that can’t truck and robotaxi vapourware. Meanwhile, BYD is on its game.

Sure, but that doesn't seem obviously relevant to the question of whether the truck features innovation or just a triangular shape.

What do you mean it’s before ”vibe shift”, that’s not true?
