Yeah, a Tesla electric pickup truck is indeed handy... When you adventure yourself in the wilderness in rural american states, and battery runs out in the middle of your journey, what will you going to do? Plug it to a tree? Kind regards, Nuno.
Tesla pickup will be just like all American trucks, and trucks made in America (Tundra) that tool around town never going offroad. I know this is the case because I live in a city in Texas and unlike most of my neighbors and all the trucks on the road I use my truck offroad and for farm chores. Hypothetically though, the 5% of trucks that do go offroad are used with access to electricity. Here is my hay barn with 110, 220, and solar all 15 miles from the nearest town.

The Tesla Roadster will probably start production in 2021, maybe very late 2020. The Truck hasn't even been unveiled yet. That picture was just a concept by a fan, not even an official Tesla picture. Tesla so far has just show teaser pictures. Unveiling will probably be later this year with production starting in a few years.
I guess you’re right, Rob. Over here is no different: very few people ever take their pickups or SUVs offroad. Most people buy them because they like the design, sitting high through city traffic or just because they want to go shopping without having to care about sidewalks, potholes or speed bumps, never quite exploring the cars’ potential. And congrats on that barn. That’s some serious and practical infrastructure! Great idea. Kind regards, Nuno.
I was going 80 mph on SH 82. A dark silver Tesla passed me on the right. Which is fine. I like having a rabbit to get to the cops before l do. Some Teslas are good looking. This was clunky . No idea what model it was. Had four doors. Widows rolled up. It was sunny. 75F. Perfect 458 Spider weather with top down. Fall foliage at its peak. Great day.
GMC CHEVY FORD TOYOTA Have been and always will be the best trucks made in the world PERIOD, and with that being said , With the price of gas as insane as it is, if tesla could build a real truck that could be used the way a truck is suppose to be used and that could really compete for the business for those that are in the building and construction industries , I would consider it, the above rendition is a far cry from a real truck, its that simple, same as the statement that they are not art. Superbikes will always smoke road cars, they have and always will be a force to be reckoned with ..Ducati V4 Panigale, Kawasaki H2/3 Suzuki GSXR 1300, Kawasaki ZX14 R Ducati Monster 1200 R / S Yamaha R1 M, and the list goes on and on ,Yamaha V MAX Gen 2, if you ride, and if you have had the opportunity to ride these machines, you know what they are capable of. Thank you
I think you would have a minority opinion, I think the current line up is pretty boring, they have a bunch of room for improvement and these designs are headed in the right direction.
They are pretty basic looking mate, ferrari and Lambo designs look way better. They’ve gone for futuristic, which is fine, but I don’t think they will appeal design-wise to car lovers, it’s the tech that will or won’t sell them I think.
I disagree, the current Ferrari and Lambo direction seems to be to throw everything at it without a cohesive design. There are so many little flares and gills and such sprinkled over the car that it looks very busy and not particularly elegant. I much perfer the clean design that the Tesla roadster prototype has. (Note, again the Truck is a fan rendering and not from Tesla.)
Each to his own bud. I love the LaFerrari, 458/488 evolution from car to car, and the 812 spider is a work of art.
