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.

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.
