Elon tease -- Tesla pick will look like military vehicle

Its not a dually so it won’t work. The army fills battle tanks with helium to haul them on those wimpy single wheeler transporters. 1 wheel = grocery getter. rv dot net fact.

Why no suicide doors like the Semi?

The diesel boys will no longer get to say "the one with the most lug nuts wins". I do like the concept of super singles shown.

I wonder if center position driving could catch on.

Real deal scheduled to be seen on November 21st.

Reminds me of the old Ford econline and Chevy Corvair pickups, I remembered Volkswagen had one to back in the early 60's. I could see this design being used as a pickup or a van for deliveries or the trades.

You will finally get an idea what the Tesla pickup will look like after two years of teasing. No idea how much longer Tesla will tease buyers before it actually becomes available:

My guess is at least a year to production. Battery supply is tight in the industry. The model Y and energy storage market will be sucking up capacity.

Agreed, photoshop fun. The 300000 lb. towing came from the folks at Quantas who hooked a ModelX to a 787-9 (empty weight right at 300000) and pulled it a few hundred yards. There’s a YouTube of it.
Should be fun to see what they come up with.

Where was this thing designed in Moscow? Its the most austere version of a motor vehicle imaginable, he will have to do a lot better than this to compete with the rest of todays pickup builders.

Nobody knows what it looks like. All just photoshop guesses.

I think the idea is to not compete with other pickups. He’ll probably shoot for the high performance crowd. EV’s are kinda naturals at that. Not every truck owner needs to tow 600 kilometers per day.

That doesn't look like a military personnel carrier truck to me.:E

Updated version of the ole Ford Econoline Pickup


Or the Dodge A100


Volkswagon even had one

It looks more like the Ark II than a military vehicle.
