It’s also interesting to note that Tesla’s customers are apparently interested in seeing a pickup version of the car, as indicated by a public poll that was ran by a publication recently. The results were overwhelmingly in favor of this, with more than 50% of people voting for a pickup.
We wouldn’t be surprised if that’s on the table behind the company’s doors either, as Elon Musk has shown that he’s always keeping a close eye on the market, and he follows the opinions of his fans quite actively. With that in mind, it’s entirely possible that he will steer the company’s next project in a direction that’s aligned with the desires of his fans.
One interesting point that was brought up in those discussions about a possible Tesla pickup truck is the fact that releasing such a model would have the biggest possible impact on emission rates, something which Tesla have been trying to target specifically in their development.
On the other hand, it will also be hugely popular on the US market, and since that’s the main target for Tesla at the moment, it makes perfect sense. Although we definitely wouldn’t mind seeing the company expanding their charging network to a wider area, but that’s most certainly something that’s planned for the long term for them. There are already plenty of charging stations across Europe, and we expect that they would expand the system soon enough.
