I saw one of the “RC” release candidates in the wild in San Francisco two weeks ago. It looked like shit in person. Marker lights weren’t aligned, the stainless already had fucked up scuffs and discoloration, etc. Water spots showed up just like my stainless kitchen sink.
You can see the stainless smudges and water spots here. I wish I got the tail lights when the brakes were off.

Also, the brakes flashed at you. Super annoying.
- It's not even smudge free stainless? LMAO
- Similar to the one I saw in Oregon a few weeks ago. It had fingerprint smudges all over the body. Seems like it'd be a huge pain to keep clean and probably need a sealant or clear wrap over the top.
  
  QC issues aside, the design is pure ass
  
  I thought it might grow on me but the flat tailgate looks absolutely atrocious like a door on some shitty commercial freezer or something.
  
  I think I'd be more into it if it had a more distinct bed like a big El Camino
  
  Right? It's not even a truck, but is somehow even worse.
  
  It's one of the biggest pieces of evidence (besides X...) of Musk's growing mental illness and bubble of sycophants. I'm sure many very respected people in the field told him this would be a Very Bad Idea. I doubt any still work at Tesla. They should've had the first EV truck to market, now they're left only with this abomination.
  
  That thing is hideous.
- The lights look so shit. Never noticed before
