He said "mini", Lloyd, not "nano".

Is your wheel guard coming off on that front right wheel?

If it has better specs than the Diesel HILUX, I will get it..(unless there is no where to charge)

Perhaps both Tesla and Ford could learn a lot from each other about customer service. (And reminds us why 1/2 to 1/3 of US States won't allow Tesla stores or restrict the number allowed to be built.)

It sounds like this guy is driving his truck like it's a Mustang.

Mustang with a very big trunk. That explains most of the ones I see. Bigger backseat too.

Could be unveiled this year. Wouldn’t expect anything in the showrooms before 2022 or possibly later.

 

[Buckminster]

I think it is likely that Elon will build on Camper Mode with the pickup. Back seat that can convert to a bed - 25% likelihood?

 

[Merrill]

If it looks like the semi I’m out!

I know Elon has stated something like MadMax designed pickup is coming, but I wander if he is misdirecting a bit too. Would not surprise me if during the Y reveal he reveals a unibody truck based on the Y/3 platform.

While a HD pickup truck based on the Semi looks cool, unless it sells in high volume it will not pay the bills. A unibody pickup (like the Honda Ridgeline, and new unibodies that Ford and Hyundai are working on) based on proven mechanicals would be a slam dunk sales wise for Tesla. Tesla needs slam dunks more than "cool".

I am going to guess it will be a unibody. IFS front and rear.
And geared more toward performance than working utility.

Right, he's not going to come out with some nancy Ridgeline truck for the masses after how much he's talked up the truck he's excited about building..

If its a Ridgeline, yuck!
