Tesla Pickup Design: Latest Concept Is 'Closest' To The Real Thing

Elon Musk’s Tesla pickup continues to raise interest even if there’s still a good month or two to go before we can finally see the newest vehicle in the EV company’s line.

In fact, Tesla fans continue to come up with their own design concepts on the possible look of the utility vehicle. The results of previous concept designs are all impressive - all of which banked on Musk’s interesting description of the pickup, which is “cyberpunk.”

This means that the truck will be highly futuristic, something that traditionalist pickup owners might not actually like. So far we’ve seen versions that show futuristic vehicles and also streamlined designs that are more in tune with the Tesla design. We’ve even seen a design concept that appeals not only to Tesla fans but also to all sci-fi geeks which is a Tesla Pickup concept created by one of the artists of "Star Wars."

Now, a new concept was recently shared by designer Omar Rosaria who first posted about the design on a Facebook group. The latest render is described by a report as the closest to the only teaser that Musk shared during the Model Y launch. A report, however, said that it is less angular than the teaser but it pays homage to some of the design cues that most Tesla vehicles are known for (mostly minimalist in nature).

The absence of the headlight is quite obvious, replaced by razor-thin light that gives the vehicle its futuristic appeal. The design is not very cyberpunk, however, since there’s still a big chance that traditional pickup owners would go for the design presented by the concept render.

Aside from the look, there’s also a possibility that the new EV will be called the Tesla Model B. Based on Musk’s intriguing tweets that all allude to bees, many are already assuming that this is in reference to the upcoming pickup.

Next, the Tesla pickup is expected to have three kinds of trims in terms of design. This could be the base model, a middle tier and a performance model. The base model is expected to have a price tag of around $49,000 to $50,000 which Musk shared during a Tesla podcast.

The Tesla pickup will also be a vehicle of power as Musk already claimed that it will have a total towing capacity of 300,000 pounds -- a feat that was overpowered by the electric Ford F-150 which was videoed pulling more than 1 million pounds of weight. This is still impressive compared to others that are about to come out in the market such as the Rivian pickup which can tow 11,000 pounds.
