Editor’s note: Tesla’s next mysterious electric car may be a electric pickup. But we still know very little about its situation. The InsideEv website summarizes the currently known (and guessed) information, including pricing, cruising range, and more.

Representation of Tesla Electric Pickup
The only thing you really don’t know is its appearance.
Tesla pickups are slowly getting together, so let’s take a look at what we know now.
In addition to Model Y, Tesla’s electric pickup is definitely the most anticipated electric car for the car manufacturer.
Mainly by the mouth of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, over time, we slowly learned more about the Tesla pickup, so we think it’s time to take what we know about Tesla pickups. Everything is exposed.
price
This topic of Tesla pickup is perhaps the most controversial one.
Muske mentioned the pricing of pickup trucks, which is very low and somewhat unbelievable.

According to Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the upcoming Tesla pickup price will be less than $50,000. Musk said:
You should be able to buy a great pickup for $49,000 or less.
We found it hard to believe that this pricing is even possible, but their goal is this. Here’s more about Musk’s pricing:
We don’t want it to be too expensive. I think it must start at a price below $50,000 – starting at $49,000. Ideally there will be fewer. The price cannot be affordable. It must be something that everyone can afford. This pickup will have a more expensive version, but you must be able to buy a great pickup for $49,000 or less.

Performance and Specifications
The Tesla truck will make Ram look like a toy, and the Ford F-150 will be its master. The goal is high, but Tesla has never been disappointing in terms of performance.
In the best case, the Tesla pickup should have a cruising range of 640 to 804 km or even far. As everyone guessed, it could be four-wheel drive, with one motor per axle. Musk also pointed out that the suspension will be dynamically adjusted according to the load. Electric + pickup means great torque. Mask has said that it can drag about 136,077 kilograms (300,000 pounds).
Other additional features of the Tesla pickup include a 240 volt power supply for all work machines, a unique drop-down tailgate, automatic parallel parking and a 360-degree camera and sonar.
Appearance
Eron Musk has previously mentioned that Tesla pickups will not appear outdated even if they are placed in the sci-fi movie “The Blade Runner”.
In addition, they also released a picture (see above).
Beyond that, we really don’t know anything about its appearance, we know it will be very radical, there will be some extremes, just like this has been controversial Tesla-Ram rendering Figure.
Model name
Are you going to be (B) my neighbor?
Although these are still speculations, there are some indications that the Tesla pickup will be called Tesla Model B.
Will B be related to the “Blade Runner” that Musk mentioned?
Will the pickup be called Model B, so the result is B S3XY (Be SEXY)? This naming does not go beyond Musk’s behavior. What do you think? If it is not B, what will Tesla pickup be called?
Disclosure time and launch/production plan
Although there is no more specific information, it is said that the disclosure plan is still expected to be carried out sometime this year.
As for the production plan and time to market? Under the current circumstances, these are still completely unknown. Tesla has to put Model Y into production, and Tesla Roadster and Tesla Semi have to continue. The Tesla pickup may be entering the fast lane, but we have not yet got the details.
We believe that the best situation is that you can start to enter the production phase within 2 years. But Tesla is still far behind Rivian, whose R1T electric pickup will be put into production next year.
