6.5 foot bed?

That's not a truck. Trucks have an 8 foot bed, everybody knows that.

Body panels that don't collapse in an impact? All the better to transfer all that lovely energy to the fleshy bits inside, no?

How many pounds of payload are taken up by the armor plating masquerading as body panels? Stainless steel is HEAVY!

And the doofus thinks it'll run Baja. Not with that range.

Speaking of range, I put a trifle over 600 miles on my pickup yesterday (it was a short day) ... and no, I didn't have time to stop to recharge the thing. This alone makes it a non-starter for any serious truck owner.

Face it, it's a toy for poseurs with more money than brains. Nothing more, nothing less.
