A bit late to the party, but your question about X or Pickup Truck is interesting to me. My wife and I probably want a pickup truck more than the X, but we'd have been waiting for more like 4 or 10 years by the time the truck arrives (we had a 4 year wait for Model X to shift from when we first put a deposit on it). In practice, we found an old truck bed trailer on Craigslist for $300 or so, and we use that to turn our Model X into a faux pickup truck. The trailer was used to haul gravel (beefy suspension), so a couple of yards of wood chips is nothing. We don't hook the trailer up and use it as often as we'd use a pickup truck bed, but we can haul big and dirty stuff when needed, and isn't what a pickup truck bed is for anyway? The practice result is the trailer does everything we need and want, and the expense is about 1/2 of the energy efficiency when we're pulling it with a load (so 230 miles of charged up range is good for pulling the trailer for about 115 miles). That's plenty of range for what we're using it for - it'd be kind of thin for towing a trailer and going camping. So that's been my solution - get the X now, along with a cheap used utility trailer, and pretend the trailer is a pickup truck
I ended up buying a brand new model x. Its already behind schedule. It was supposed to ship tomorrow and I havent even received the vin yet
I would lease the Model X for 3 years than you can walk away and hopefully the Tesla Truck will be available
Just had the same issue. Was deciding to get a new X or wait for the Model Y. Decided to get the X and in about 5 years, perhaps sell it to get a Y after it comes out, and I can see more details about it.
I bought the model S over 2 years ago (model 3 was on a waiting list at the time). So glad I didn't wait -- it's the best car I've ever had. Just buy whatever you want at the time and in a few years you can sell it and get the next best thing. I've got my eye on the pickup, especially now that I moved from California to Texas..
And in some states the incentives lessen the burden of depreciation (especially when the tax credit was $7500).
I'll bet there's a lot of us out there with the same dilemna re the pickup. I cannot wait for an announcement on that thing.
