Ah, I don't know. The Model S had a much wider market appeal because it looks exactly like a Maserati. A commonly agreed upon good looking car. I agree that you're probably the exact market this monstrosity is aimed for. But that 'status' based market is tiny. teensy, itty bitty. Why do you think the Model 3 was such a profitable success?

If you don’t think the Model 3 is a status vehicle, you crazy.

It has status like having the new iPhone on day 1 has status. Different than big money status, but still status.

Yeah I agree, different than big money status. It's like sexy-i-financed-this status.

The type of status that this truck is trying to market to is like the `I paid 1.5 million cash for this crazy pentagon` status.

The first time I saw a Model S I thought Ford had done a great job at updating the new Mondeo - it's a handsome car, but not sure it looks like any Maserati I have seen.

Looks more like a modern Jaguar than a Ford or Maserati

Go look at the Ghibli, it has the exact same body lines, windows, lights
