Image for article titled Comment of the Day: We Have a Better Name for the Tesla Truck

Today we saw a moment of innovation, the likes of which had not been seen since some BMW engineers , or maybe since people in the . We got a Tesla pickup truck! There was only one problem: the name.

Robotics YouTuber chopped a Model 3 so that it has a pickup bed. This is wonderful! Less wonderful: Truckla.

If you want an electric pickup truck, you sort of don’t have any options right now because none…

Why is this less than fantastic? Because there is such a better option lying right there for the taking as Jalopnik reader Illegal Machine notes:

It’s a pickup with class! What better holder of the ElCo crown could there be.

Congratulations to you, Illegal Machine, on your COTD win. Here’s some smooth electric jams.

Tesla May Be Closer To 'Full Self-Driving' But Drivers Won't Be Anytime Soon
Earlier today, CEO informed the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai that Tesla would have “basic functionality” for its full self-driving technology by the end of this year.

Someone Seems To Be Testing Some Kind Of Mystery Racing Ford Mach-E And It Looks Like A Lot Of Fun
