Tesla has been flirting for a while with the idea of ​​an electric pick-up to complete its ambitious fleet. And yesterday, its founder and visionary, Elon Musk, gave a new clue as to where the shots will go, an "extremely futuristic" model inspired, partially in the 'Blade Runner' style , in reference to the Ridley Scott classic. If your promise is fulfilled, there will be a presentation in November.

Musk's latest note on the matter came from an exchange of messages between the South African businessman and Joe Rogan , the comedian and author of a podcast with millions of followers. Rogan sent some designs of the Turkish Emre Husmen on his vision of the car and Musk replied that Tesla's design will be even more "bladeruneresque" than that even. The expectation among his faithful followers is maximum, even above the arrival of the last model presented in society, the crossover Y.

The CEO of Tesla has assured that his project will have nothing to envy to the gasoline models of the same segment. Your pick-up, with no name yet, will have a route of between 640 and 800 kilometers with a single battery charge , four-wheel drive and a towing capacity at the height of the competition.

According to Musk, it will cost less than $ 50,000 - about 45,400 euros - and "will be better than the Ford F-150," the best-selling model in its category for years in the United States. Musk's bet, then, is one of the most ambitious of his career: making a dent in a segment associated with a profile in the antipodes of his vision, that of the conservative American and proud of his muscular, noisy and hyperbolic pollutant vehicle .

This will also be 'Made in the USA' and out there analysts believe it could engage with that social mass. If you achieve a power similar or superior to that of your competitors and without having to go through the gas station, it is possible that you will finish the proposal. What Musk has clarified is that it will not be a model "for everyone."

Last July, the South African explained that they were polishing the last details to be able to carry out the presentation in November and, according to their last tweet, nothing has changed. Tesla will make a new display of strength and creativity in a few weeks.

The announcement comes at an interesting time for budding electric pickups. Rivian , the company based in Plymouth, Michigan , on which Jeff Bezos , the founder of Amazon, has made his tentacles, has been making noise in the automotive industry for months. In addition to Bezos' investment - $ 700 million in February 2019 - the richest man in the world announced last month a purchase of 100,000 electric vehicles from Rivian for its distribution system.
