Tesla Could Unveil Electric Pickup Truck Next Year
Musk hints that there is a chance the prototype will be unveiled 2019:
"I'm dying to make a pickup truck so bad … we might have a prototype to unveil next year"
As you can see, Musk is eager to introduce the Tesla pickup truck. Perhaps nearly as eager as the hundreds of thousands of potential customers. Pickups area huge segment in North America, which would open a tremendous growth opportunity for Tesla.
We can only guess that if a running prototype would be ready for unveiling in 2019, then the launch of production probably will happen by late 2020. Full-scale production would still be some time away though, maybe in 2021.
