Nah but he picks them up in his Eddie Bauer bags  

So Eddie Bauer sells groceries online now??  

VW IMO was in worst shape for future EV development then Ford due to being "too big to fail" and it hurting from dieselgate.   Their hand was forced to work with Rivian. 

I wasn't calling you out directly, I get that, but for other people it applies. 

It hasn't for Rivian 

I personally believe this is the truck. I've shared these photos before, but I'll share them again so you don't have to go digging through old posts. The way the front fender line slops down near the front perfectly matches the confirmed image we have of the front end sloping down. You can also see a hint of a squared off wheel well which would suit a truck well. Then there's a diagonal character line behind the wheel, and maybe some sort of vent.    If my hypothesis is correct and this turns out to be the front of the truck, then we also know what the roofline looks like because they show that same tarped design later on. The way the roofline starts to slope down would make sense for aero, and is pretty close to a patent image that showed a fastback style bed cover.    The height is a hangup, it looks really low. But it could be a matter of perspective, or the model being below full scale, or not having wheels for this particular mock up. Lots of reasons why it could look lower here than it actually is.    If I'm right and this is it, I like it. 

Yeah, the decision to not only try to go toe to toe with the f-150, but to do so with such a polarizing design with the CT was a real head scratcher moment. A mid-sized Tesla truck with more traditional styling would have sold like gangbusters.    Something like maverick with a slightly shorter hood and bolder lines would be pretty nice to see. 

My life is pretty chaotic. I refuse to add more chaos to my life so I can have an electric vehicle. It's really that simple.

Agree, they have revealed a lot of information on the ce1 truck except for an actual picture and more information is coming on 2/17/2026. But, if one's definition of hiding is the absence of a picture, then Tuesday is going to be another hiding event.
