Tesla Cyberpunk Truck Release Moves Up: What We Know So Far

Tesla’s 2019 Shareholders Meeting gave us insight into the latest news regarding Elon Musk’s company, including some new updates on the mysterious Tesla pickup truck.

Dubbed the Tesla cyberpunk truck in Musk’s presentation, the EV company’s CEO revealed that the truck will make its official launch by the end of summer 2019. The production of its semi-truck, on the other hand, which is also being anticipated by many, would be sometime by the end of next year.

In the shareholder’s presentation, Musk seemed to be giving a clue as to what products his company is prioritizing in terms of production and product launch. Before the pickup truck, the CEO showed that Tesla will be working on the production of the Model Y.

The Model Y, the company’s crossover SUV, will be prioritized next to the Model 3 production which is clearly getting the company’s full attention. The Model 3 sedan is considered to be 2018’s best-selling electric luxury vehicle and remains to be a leader in the market despite supply and demand woes.

The launch of Tesla’s new vehicles will be highly dependent on the company’s battery production. Musk also reiterated that until they overcome this issue then the company plans to keep its fleet simple at the moment.

The Tesla pickup has been getting a lot of interests from both Tesla enthusiasts and the motoring industry because of what little information we have at the moment. The pickup truck was once described by Musk as something that won’t feel out of place in a “Blade Runner” movie. He also said that the pickup may not be something that would appeal to everyone and that they might come out with a design that’s more conventional.

What’s more, the Tesla pickup is also set to be as functional as the market’s best selling Ford F-series pickup trucks yet capable of running as fast the Porsche 911. These exciting capabilities are coupled with a few other features like a battery capacity that could go as high as 100 kWh, a dual motor all-wheel drive engine, 300,000 pounds of towing capabilities and an improved range on a full charge.
