“I’m dying to make a pickup truck so bad … we might have a prototype to unveil next year.”

The wording in Elon Musk’s Tweet about the Tesla electric pickup truck suggests customers won’t be seeing the final version of the truck in 2019. It also shows that while the electric pickup truck is in the works, it is nowhere ready for customers to start placing preorders yet.
