Elon Musk’s firm Tesla would possibly launch an electrical pickup truck within the close to future. The information comes from Musk’s response to a tweet from the Vancouver Seed Financial institution.
The tweet in query merely stated “Want an electrical Choose up truck please”, and Musk’s response places forth not only a promise for constructing the automobile, but in addition a slightly unbelievable timeline for it. “I promise that we are going to make a pickup truck proper after Mannequin Y. Have had the core design/engineering parts in my thoughts for nearly 5 years. Am dying to construct it,” stated Musk in his reply.

Contemplating that the Mannequin Y is predicted to return out someday in 2019-20, Musk is giving us all hope of seeing an electrical pickup truck someday round that very same time. It’s not a timeline we’d count on Tesla to stay to. In any case, we have been speculated to see wide-scale roll out of the Tesla Mannequin 3 this yr and that definitely didn’t occur. Nonetheless, Musk’s tweet does give away a little bit of Tesla’s roadmap.
Tesla is at the moment in “manufacturing hell” attempting to fulfill orders for the Mannequin 3 as quickly as potential, together with the Tesla Semi Truck, and the brand new Tesla Roadster 2. Including a pair extra automobiles to that record will certainly not be a simple job for the corporate, particularly throughout the subsequent 2-3 years.
Musk can be promising current Tesla house owners a slew of ‘yet-to-come’ upgrades for his or her automobiles, together with issues like a ‘Disco Mode’ which Musk stated appeared like “good, tacky enjoyable.”
Was gonna say we’ll do all however the final, however that final one seems like good, tacky enjoyable 🙂

Whether or not or not Tesla manages to push as many options as Musk is promising on Twitter stays to be seen. Nonetheless, as of now, it does seem like the corporate has a protracted record of guarantees, each new and outdated, to ship on within the coming yr. On the very least, we’d count on the corporate to make a number of extra bulletins, and start wide-scale deliveries for the Tesla Mannequin 3.
