Yeah, that whole "accept or pay" thing is pretty popular with German news publishers. I mean, I get that they have to make money in some way, and few people seem to be willing to pay for journalism.
To be fair, the majority of truck owners in the US don't actually use their pickups for anything that would necessitate owning a truck in the first place, so the complete lack of shelves and the weird flatbed probably didn't stand out as immediate red flags.
Even a lot of workers could easily get by / make more use out of a smaller enclosed vehicle. They just go with the trucks because they like the aesthetic more.

I'll happily allow cookies for Notebookcheck, too. Their laptop reviews are exemplary.

Anything about this truck that might possibly have had utility Musk didn't see as necessary. In a truck.

At least you can peel a good carrot with the door panels. Great for vegetable loving rednecks to pose in.
