Tesla showed a first teaser image of an electric
pickup truck during the unveiling event of the new Semi and Roadster models.
The company’s plans for a pickup truck are well
known for some time but information remains limited at this point, with the
teaser suggesting it will look like a smaller pickup truck version of the Semi.
According to Elon Musk, the upcoming Tesla utility model
will be “a pickup truck that can carry a pickup truck”, something that was
portrayed in these early sketches. Tesla wants their pickup truck to share as
much of the Semi’s technology as possible but allow everyone with a normal
driving license to be able to drive it.
So it appears that the Tesla pickup truck will be a
rather large vehicle that will feature a bed big enough to host something like
a smaller one-tonne truck, which gives us a good idea of how ridiculously big
it will be.
The concept is still in a very early stage of
development so Tesla isn’t expected to reveal a fully working prototype for the
next few years. After all, it appears that they have their hands pretty full at
the moment.
