I hope so. Seems like it’s been a really long time since he announced phone as fob, for older MS and MX.

From Electrek:
Definitely a slow news day. Taking a Hyundai unibody pickup concept and mutilating the front does not a Tesla Pickup truck make. But I bet he got plenty of clicks.

Please do not make it look like this, do a basic affordable F-150 type with an 8 foot bed. Tesla needs to sell more vehicles and they need to make a truck that appeals to the masses. More importantly they need to stay in business so stop the crazy designs and get down to business.
Trucks will need to pay for themselves the way that cars do. So the first one will likely be an expensive high margin truck, followed by lower priced ones. And if it has an 8' bed, there shouldn't be any issues. I'm not really sure why you want a big square nose when there's no engine.

Do not care what nose it has as long as it is not ugly. How about something like the model x nose.

This is a high margin truck Ford's First $100K Pickup Is The 2018 F-Series Super Duty Limited
I actually don't mind the front end, its the useless backend that has me worried. That looks like a Subaru Brat with a 3X price tag.

The basis for the render is a four year old Hyundai Santa Cruz concept. Calm down, its not based on reality. Whoever created this did even get the nose correct. Its a cheap not even close render. But it got clicks on Electrek on a slow news Saturday.
But that is just some artist's guess, not the real thing. Why not wait till the reveal before criticizing?
I hope they steal Bollinger's idea and put in a pass through for long skinny things that can extend from the bed through the frunk.

I hope they beat Rivian and Bollinger to market and add the Rivian Gear /Gun /Surfboard tunnel behind the back seats.

Looks like Nissan has already beat all of them and the truck is only $20K....

^^^ This. They really need to beat everyone else to market, even if it means shelving the (declining sales) S&X for a couple years in order to have the capacity to build the truck.
Would really like to see that the truck is still plus sized and shares a lot of tech with the semi (enough so that it can be charged at the same places semis do when traveling cross country). I really hope when they unveil it, it's months away from production, not years.
Towing a 787 is so passé...

Steel wheels on rails have almost no rolling resistance. Land-Rover did something similar with a Series II years ago (four cylinder engine for those who don't know).
How did they stop the rail cars with no air assisted brakes? Must had a worker on every car with their hands on the hand brake.

I hated clicking the FUDerick link but they just stick a battery in without changing the styling but I guess for 20K what do you expect.
Its going to take quite the vehicle to get me to ditch the jeep with my current integrated sleeper top but that Rivian is pretty sweet..

Yeah I'm feeling the same, its gotta be better than my FJ with all the aftermarket modes (or I at least need to be able to move them over to the truck). BTW I will be installing one of these for on board hot water, hopefully this weekend.
