Tesla plans to show off an electric pickup truck sometime within the next two years, the company’s CEO Elon Musk said on Twitter today. The pickup was teased originally when Musk revealed the second part of his “master plan” for Tesla, which began with selling expensive vehicles like the Roadster and Model S, and eventually leads to producing a wide range of more affordable vehicles at scale.

The truck was previously described as a “new kind of pickup” by Musk, though he’s alluded to the concept even prior to that. Tesla’s desire to create a pickup makes sense given the success of the category in the company’s home country, and it’s likely planned alongside an upcoming lower cost compact SUV, sometimes referred to the Model Y.

Musk also teased a forthcoming semi truck announcement, set for September, and a convertible version of the Roadster coming in the next iteration of Tesla’s first vehicle, which is a high priced car targeted at luxury buyers.

Was really intrigued by this when I first heard it.

Sure hope that's not the final model they'll take to market. Yikes.

Hey Elon, I can be hired for cheap.....6 figures.... High 6 figures. To make a few tweaks to make this acceptable to rednecks. It won't be that difficult........But that thing will lose you mucho dinero.

That's just a random artist's guess at what it's going to look like. I guarantee it will look a lot better than that, but I'd put money on it being smaller than what most people want.
