Tesla Will Make A Pickup Truck

[myzter]

Tesla was planning to make a truck, but not a commercial one

Musk made the announcement yesterday afternoon at a Business Insider event in New York. There, he said that the truck — which will likely look like an actual product people will want to buy and not the terrible 'shop I had to cook up myself because Jason isn't in yet — will compete directly with the Ford F-Series and other passenger trucks. He said it won't be a commercial truck.

That nose is just fugly. Just as ugly as when Porsche first came out with their SUV. Took them a while to get it right. Will the cost of ownership be equal or lower vs IC truck? Trucks are a big thing in Texas and Tesla will need to work hard to win over some urban cowboys.

That picture is some bloggers 5 minute photochop job, not a rendering of the pickup. lol

Looks like a Chevy dually with a nose job. A modern electric "El Camino/Ranchero" style three seater was what I expected to see. :lol:

But the "F" series IS a commercial truck ?

Does anyone know if this idea/concept has progressed at all since this was posted a while ago?

Or just another announcement to deflect all the bad news lately?
