I dunno, sure he talked about it in the 2000's but the 3 wasn't even unveiled until 2016 and produced in 2017 while the X was reveled in 2012 and produced in 2015.

But the sheer lack of awareness that a truck needs to be practical, still look good after a dent or two, not injure you from walking around it, have door handles, be able to hold full sized adults in the back seats, and have mirrors that work for trailering.

This is absolutely going to be the biggest flop in automotive history.

Because that looks awful. Unbelievably bad.

You can see it in action around 1:00 into this video. It'll be pretty useless in serious mud or snow/ice.

I'm pretty curious how awful the visibility is with those A pillars, looks like it will be brutal.

Okay...where are the headlights?

I havent looked up much about this car, but the front of it appears to be one sheet of stainless steel and a giant window with a single wiper blade.

It should work. Laser headlights are very powerful for their size.

It does not. Those are the DRL's, the headlights are mounted just above the bumper. The above image was the prototype. They are illuminated here:
