I must have missed the email.

Was there any particular reason why the windows were being touted as being bullet proof or unbreakable? Did Tesla think this would be a big sales feature? Is the rest of the vehicle bullet proof as well?

the window deal, I think that was staged.  Make sure everyone is still talking about it days later.  Good move.

On the truck, I've only causally looked at some estimated specs.  I bought a F250 this year.  The "base" truck for Tesla, will cost and haul like an F150 but range is 250 miles.  Fine for being around town, or close in to the farm where you can scoot back for a recharge overnight.  To get the range to 500 miles (which my F250 SD can do full highway), you pay.....the same as I paid for my F250SD.  Except I've got more than twice the hauling ability.

^^^ That's a good one Mike  ;D

Wow, (IMHO) Ugly doesn't really cover that look.

Also, for towing - what would the range be? Or... do you tow another trailer with a battery - or a generator?  ::) ???

It seems that it is 250 miles, but they also claim it has a towing capacity of 300,000 pounds........
