Tesla Pickup Truck: Everything we know so far (June 2019)

Outline: “We don’t want it to be really expensive. I think it got to start at less than $50,000 – it’s got to be like $49,000 starting price max. Ideally less. It just can’t be unaffordable. It’s got to be something that’s affordable. There will be versions of the truck that will be more expensive, but you’ve got to be able to get a really great truck for $49,000 or less.” “It’s going to be a truck that is more capable than other trucks. The goal is to be a better truck than a F-150 in terms of truck-like functionality and be a better sports car than a standard 911. That’s the aspiration.” Ride The Lightning Podcast. https://teslapodcast.libsyn.com/rss May 24, 2013: Ultra low center of gravity. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/338117807910813696 February 7, 2017: Battery potentially above 100 kWh. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/828998837578526723 December 26, 2017: Have had core design elements in head for 5 years (now 7 years). https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/945713737729634304 June 26, 2018: Onboard power outlets. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1011724688706318337 June 26, 2018: Dual motor AWD. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1011678031801249793 June 26, 2018: Large enough to fit Andre the Giant. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1011838788245454848 June 26, 2018: 300K lb towing capacity. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1011788218734391296 June 26, 2018: 400-500 mile range optional - maybe higher. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1011835761182666752 June 26, 2018: Drop down rear gate. https://www.teslarati.com/elon-musk-tesla-pickup-truck-features-wish-list/ July 4, 2018: Detect small children with camera and ultrasonics. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1014632045505630209 November 1, 2018: “I can’t talk about the details, but it’s gonna be like a really futuristic-like cyberpunk, ‘Blade Runner’ pickup truck.
