It won't be long until the world gets its first official glimpse of Tesla's much-hyped electric pickup truck. In a Twitter exchange yesterday, a fan quizzed Elon Musk about the chances of an October unveiling, to which he replied: "November most likely."

The pickup remains a closely guarded secret, but Musk did tease its design back in March. According to the Tesla CEO, the truck will sport a futuristic "cyberpunk Blade Runner" aesthetic.

…Tesla does need to be quick because competitors are threatening to be first to market. Rivian, a startup company which has yet to release its first vehicle, was recently spotted testing its upcoming R1T truck in Tierra del Fuego. At last year’s LA Auto Show unveiling, Rivian’s truck was a huge hit.
 
I haven't seen one driving around here yet, but I see a ton of test Tesla's on 101 all the time. My worry is that this thing will have a 4ft bed and massive 4 seater instead of a proper 8ft 2.5 seater.

Hopefully a "working man's" truck and not a "family" truck .. should be able to get full 4x8ft sheets of goods in the bed!

Great the El Camino of the plug in electric cars. Just what we always wanted.
 
Don't you dare compare the Tesla truck to an Elk....
Blasphemous.
 
So in Elon-time, November means.... we see some screenshots of a render in November, it stays "just around the corner", and the first truck is in dealer lots in April 2025, premium models only at 133%-200% the original price, and October 2028 before we see it configurable at the promised $49,000.

But it will tow like a sumbitch. Ford teased their electric F-150 towing 1,000,000 lbs. Elon will have to one-up that.
