Tesla will introduce electric truck and van

Despite the growing losses of the electric car manufacturer Tesla, its founder and CEO Elon Musk remains optimistic.



In a conference call with analysts, he elaborated on the expected timing of the implementation of two major programmes announced last month: "Minibus Tesla" (Tesla car) and "Semi Tesla" (Tesla truck). Initially, Elon Musk said that the announcement of new vehicles in the electric course will be held next year, but now he said that their presentation will happen in the next 6-9 months, i.e. in early or mid 2017.

This graph looks very bold given the fact that a couple of weeks no one knew about the plans of the Mask to create these vehicles. In addition, by the middle of next year, Elon Musk hopes to begin production of the first model electric vehicle for the mass market — Model 3. That is, 2017 is expected very eventful for the company.
