Tesla electric truck launch October 26

Tesla’s electric truck will be launched on October 26 in Hawthorne, California.

The Tesla Semi unveiling has been announced by Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk in a tweet. Whether the truck will have any autonomous capabilities isn’t yet known.

It has been reported, though, that the truck would be semi-autonomous and able to operate in a convoy or “platoons”.

Meanwhile, there’s suggestions Tesla might consider an electric pickup truck or ute, possibly as a “mini Tesla Semi”.

He’s reportedly talked about a ute for some time.

The latest buzz comes from Musk’s response to a tweet asking if a light duty pickup can be next.

“What if we just made a mini version of the Tesla Semi?” is his response.

Perhaps more will be known at the Tesla Semi unveiling.
