Elon Musk (CEO Tesla) recently stated on an episode of “Ride The Lightning” that Tesla’s planned electric pickup truck “will be a better truck than an F-150 in terms of truck-like functionality and be a better sports car than a standard (porsche) 911.”
The Tesla pickup truck could take a few years before it is ready for purchase.
Many “haters” have stated that this truck will likely prove too difficult to build the typical features of a pickup truck, including the ability to haul heavy cargo and handle off-road driving, into “a light-weight, high-performance sports car”.
These people believe that the electric battery alone needed for a Tesla pickup could end up weighing as much as an entire Porsche 911. An electric battery large enough to offer a truck sufficient power over long distances, along with Musk’s other ambitious goals for the pickup, would also cost more money for both Tesla and consumers.
But this didn’t stop Simone Giertz!
The plan is pretty straight forward… (not really).
Using a Model 3, Simone will cut out the top part of the backseat and the trunk and embed a flatbed into the existing chassis.
Yes, the thought of cutting a brand new Tesla Model 3 brings tears to our eyes as well.
