Henrik Fisker has been teasing his upcoming
crossover for what feels like an eternity, but he decided to mix things up by
revealing plans for two additional models. The designer was tight-lipped on
specifics, but confirmed the vehicles will be launched sometime after the
crossover and ride on the same platform that underpins the upcoming electric
vehicle. He also included a teaser image of what appears to be a pickup.
While the picture isn’t very revealing, it shows a
tailgate with prominent “Fisker” badging. The latter resides below a round logo
and some plastic cladding that’s presumably there to protect the top of the
truck bed. We can also see vertical taillights, a passenger side grab handle
and a gently domed roof.
Only two headrests are visible, but it’s hard to be
certain if the model is a single cab, extended cab or crew cab pickup. The
latter would seem the most likely as crew cab pickups have exploded in
popularity. Regardless of its configuration, the truck will face a lot of
competition as a number of automakers have announced plans for electric
pickups. Rivian’s R1T is probably one of the best-known and it’s scheduled to
go into production in 2020 with a starting price of US$ 69,000.
However, they’re far from the only automaker working
on an electric truck. Ford teased their electric F-150 last month in a stunt
that involved a prototype pulling ten double-decker train cars loaded with 42
F-150s. General Motors has also confirmed plans for an electric pickup, but
the elephant in the room is Tesla. Their truck will be unveiled later this year
and will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention and, presumably, pre-orders.
