Musk says Tesla to soon reveal all-electric 18-wheeler, and pickup truck

Musk is about to send more shock waves through the auto and truck industry

Perhaps no individual in recent memory has captured the world’s and the automobile market’s imagination quite like Elon Musk. Just last month, Musk said in a tweet that building an electric big-rig with sports-car-like acceleration would be "no problem."

Now, Musk is claiming the unveiling of the long-anticipated Tesla Class-8 semi truck is mere months away and that it will be unveiled in September. In his tweet, Musk said the development team had done an "amazing" job and that the truck would be "seriously next level."

Musk further elaborated and said that the reveal of the Tesla pickup would come within the next 18 to 24 months.
