“... no matter what your pickup currently looks like, it will appear wimpy next to it.”

I have to disagree. That is your opinion not a fact. I think it looks like someone who just started out at whittling tried to make a Delorean and used the result as the design for the “truck”. Personally, I think the tesla “truck” looks wimpy. I’m really disappointed by it.

I agree, any existing truck of comparable size (aside from actual working trucks with wheels bigger that whole F350), looks wimpy next to tesla's truck. Like an office cowboy with $500 tastefully torn jeans and designer fleece shirt next to a coal miner at the end of his shift.
That’s good for you? But it doesn’t matter. The comment I was replying to implied that its/your view was a fact.

By replying with my point of view I’m proving that is not a fact.

By replying with your point of view... I actually don’t know why you replied. Why did you?

I tried to arrive at a stricter definition of whimpiness by throwing another analogy into the mix.

Of course matter of taste is entirely subjective, but that shouldn't stop us from making fun of it when warranted. Or even when not, such unimportant distinctions shouldn't be taken seriously.

Here's another user who thinks it looks awesome.

Most people I've heard however thinks it looks weird.

Importantly however none of those others I talked to ever owned a pickup truck or even talked about wanting one... :-)

I’m not sure how your anecdote is important.

You could have no friends, and only talk to the crazy guy that hangs out by the liquor store.

You could work at a senior center so most the people you talk to aren’t allowed to drive, but hate new fangled technology.

Or...

You could have a horrible sample size of anecdotal evidence (which is horrible evidence itself) to draw any reasonable conclusion.
