Rob, IMHO opinion the Blankpoint on Disqus orange marking drawing is spot on. the near vertical front of the original Tesla pickup teaser image (see below) will most likely be angled as per BonD image, to increase aerodynamics and safety (crumple zone). Tesla will be the trend-setter for pick-ups and knock every other competitor off their perch, including BEV makers Atlis, Bollinger, Rivian, W-15 along with the OEM when they wake up and get into the EV game. The others all look the same, some more square than others, they all have a massive hood which is a carryover from required ICE design and serves absolutely no purpose for a BEV.
I don't think Tesla needs to worry for even a single minute that they will need to produce an alternate design for their pickup truck. Absolutely not. This will do just fine. They will need one version that seats two with an extended carrying bed, and one version that seats five (perhaps six in two rows of three with Driver in the centre similar to Semi) with with a shorter carrying bed, but the overall design of the pickup truck will be the same, and it will win the hearts of most all pickup truck drivers...and some of us that aren't.
I have never even remotely thought of having a pickup truck as my personal vehicle.....until now.
