Since Elon Musk has officially announced the intention to build a pickup truck in Tesla's new master plan, I guess a thread on this future vehicle is warranted:
The pickup truck market is one that has been ignored by BEV manufacturers so far. But there certainly is a high-end in the pickup truck market where Tesla can establish a beachhead for further growth and development.
I suppose Ford will block Tesla from using the name "Model T" just like they blocked them from using the name "Model E."
Not much is known about the development of a Tesla pickup truck, but there is a lot of speculation at this time. For starters, here is a decent landing page for the Tesla pickup at Electrek.
