The point is the aerodynamics; not the aesthetics. Mary Barra is completely wrong-headed by equating low aero drag with ugly.
The Tesla Model 3 is the lowest drag vehicle sold at the moment, and people accept its differences - and most think it is great looking.
The Tesla CYBRTRK is (probably) the lowest aero drag pickup to be built in a factory, and it's range performance looks to be at the top of what is possible; at a given price point.
The electric pickup truck market has finally begun. Rivian was the first to show a viable vehicle - and they have had to lower their target price, in reaction to the CYBRTRK. Bollinger, and now Ford and GM (and possibly Lordstown Motors, and others) are all making serious efforts to get into this important market.
