Tesla to unveil first electric truck in September
Elon Musk has tweeted that Tesla is to reveal an electric semi-truck in September. Describing it as “seriously next level”, the CEO stated that the vehicle "will deliver a substantial reduction in the cost of cargo transport, while increasing safety and making it really fun to operate".
He also revealed that Tesla will show off an electric pickup truck in “18 to 24 months,” and that the next Tesla roadster sports car will be a convertible .

Musk said last year in its second quarter earnings report that the company would be unveiling the Tesla Semi as well as a Model X-based Tesla minibus at some point in 2017.

“We expect to unveil those for the middle of next year, maybe the next six to nine months type of thing. And then [we’d] have a better, more fleshed-out plan for when those would enter production,” Musk said on the call last August. The Tesla CEO had mentioned a possible unveiling in 2017 when he announced the vehicles in his updated “Tesla Master Plan” — a follow-up to the goal-specific mission statement that he published for the company back in 2006.
