We Might See A Tesla Pickup Truck This Summer
We Might See A Tesla Pickup Truck This Summer-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:35

A new crossover! A new ! A plant in China! ! The new roadster, maybe! Tesla has a lot going on right now, but Q4 of 2018 was a nice financial win for the growing automaker. And on the earnings call just now, CEO Elon Musk just kind of casually mentioned we may see a Tesla pickup truck this summer too.

Either way the truck market is probably the next great frontier for electric vehicles. Ford is coming out with an EV F-Series truck in a few years, and startups like are hoping to get there even sooner. With tons of electric torque to make towing and hauling a breeze, it feels like an idea whose time will come soon. But can Tesla make it happen with all the other stuff happening at the same time?

As ever, who knows.
