A Ford F-150-Rivalling Tesla Pickup Will Happen After The Model Y

Elon Musk has confirmed his desire to make a Tesla pickup a reality, and has promised to focus on making it happen after the Model Y crossover emerges

A Tesla pickup truck could actually happen, says Elon Musk, but it won’t be quite like the oddball designs that surfaced a month or so ago.

A pickup was briefly mentioned by Tesla at around the same time as the Roadster and semi truck were launched to the press, but in typical Musk mercurial style, plans have already changed.

It won’t be carrying any F-150s, mind you. In a further Tweet, Musk said that it would be a similar overall size to an F-150, but could have a mystery ‘game-changing feature’ that the famous engineer wants to add.

It could potentially still have the more flat-fronted design to create more passenger space in the double-cab cabin while still boasting a single-cab-size load bed. Time will tell, and there are many obstacles to overcome before Tesla gets anywhere near that, especially if Model Y production goes the way of the Model 3
