Telsa Getting Ready To Enter Pickup Market - Who Should Be Worried?

Electric car company Tesla is planning to make a pickup truck, CEO Elon Musk said yesterday.

The truck will likely be the same type of vehicle as Ford's F-Series pickup trucks. The Ford F-150 is the best-selling vehicle of any kind in the United States.

Musk said Tesla might make the truck in 5 years.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk spoke at Business Insider's IGNITION event in New York yesterday. He made his remarks about the pickup truck during a post-interview Q&A session at the side of the stage. After he descended the stage, Musk was surrounded by a crowd of conference attendees, and he answered questions about Tesla and his rocket company, SpaceX, for about half an hour.

El Teslino!

No one should be worried. VIA Motors is about to unveil their production models at LA and even let people drive them. That should be fun.

Tesla is just now doing their first car that is not a Lotus with batteries thrown in. Tesla has a LONG way to go before it can be considered a real manufacturer of quality cars. Time will determine that. A pickup is just dumb as bricks as a product for them.

The problem with that market is you have to make the grill 10% bigger every year to compete. Not sure batteries could be improved at the same pace.
