It’s possible that Tesla Motors (TSLA) may release an electric pickup truck in the future.

In a research note published on Thursday, Adam Jonas, lead auto analyst at Morgan Stanley (MS) made mention of an electric pickup truck from Tesla. Jonas’ mention of a pickup truck was brief and he noted that it wasn’t in the company’s earnings forecasts, reports Business Insider.

Business Insider notes that an electric pickup truck would put Tesla up against General Motors (GM), Ford (F), and Chrysler. If the company could make a successful pickup truck, it would give it a whole new range of customers.

In the research report published by Jonas, he also notes that it’s possible that Tesla will delay its Model X. He estimates that the company could delay the Model X until the third-quarter of 2015, reports ValueWalk.
