Tesla Pickup Truck Engine
The source of power for the 2017 Tesla Pickup Truck is yet to be revealed. We gathered some, still unverified details about the potential combo for the newcomer. Since the Tesla Pickup Truck will be a heavyweight model, it requires powerful engine under its bonnet. It will probably employ a 2.0-liter V-8 turbocharged powerplant with power output of roughly 400 horses and 350 lb-ft of torque. A powerful 60 kWh battery will come up trumps too.
The engine itself will be made out of lightweight materials to cut the overall weight of the vehicle and make it as much aerodynamic as possible. Some sites claim that the combo will be backed up by a six-speed automatic or manual gearbox while others claim that the carmaker will actually employ a seven-speed or an eight-speed transmission. Both FWD and AWD will be in the game.
2017 Tesla Pickup Truck Pricing
If everything goes according to plan, we will see the 2017 Tesla Pickup stretching its wheels on roads in late 2016. The price of the base model is estimated to be roughly $40,000
