I think there are a lot of people that don't like anything that goes against the status quo. Look at the (relatively old now) movie The American President. Even back then it pulled no punches about the sway the big three automakers have in the world of politics. Since everything is politicized to the nth degree these days, it isn't surprising we find ourselves here. Musk certainly doesn't make it any easier. Then you have the groups who have chosen to politicize electric cars and you have a whole group of people who hate them. I don't hate Tesla's. I've accepted the fact they can totally smoke me coming off a stop sign. That being said the truck is just ugly and impractical. I'm sure the tech is awesome, but I really feel like they missed the mark on that one. They could have totally made it attractive to the kind of people who actually use trucks, but they decided to go a different way.
