It is expected that the new model will appear on the market after the debut of the compact crossover Model Y, the premiere of which is scheduled for 2019.
As Musk stated, even in the base version, the pickup will receive a pair of electric motors with "crazy torque" and an all-wheel drive system. In addition, standard equipment includes adaptive air suspension, which will itself select the necessary parameters "taking into account the current load."
Also, for the truck, a proprietary semi-autonomous Autopilot complex, an automatic parallel parking function, and a surround-view camera system will be offered.
At the end of 2017, Elon Musk said that the idea of an electric pickup had been nurtured by him over the past five years. He also mentioned then that in size the car would be comparable to the Ford F-150 or even slightly surpass it.
