Elon Musk is itching to move into the massive light truck market, and will bring out his prototype later this year. Some other companies, including Ford, are also going down this road, but it seems like Tesla is leading the way so far.
Its capabilities are impressive. Two 300hp electric motors (bigger ones are available). 400-600 mile range. 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Towing capacity at least 40,000 lbs., but can go up to as much as 300,000 lbs. No, that's not a typo. 300,000. On-board 120/240v electric plugs, and a compressor for air tools (nice for flat tires!). 4-wheel steering. Locking differentials. ...and other features yet undisclosed.
Looks like the days of our beloved dirty, noisy, smoky, complicated, fuel-guzzling, internal combustion trucks are slowly, but surely, coming to an end.
