Here’s what we can tell from the picture

Crew cab: The truck appears to have a 4 door crew cab, similar to popular models of trucks by Ford, GM, and Dodge. This would be good news for many Americans, as crew cabs are highly functional for things like hauling kids to soccer games as well as weekend warrior projects.

Short bed: similar to most crew cabs, the bed appears to be a short bed, in the range of 4′ to 5′. Full size trucks traditionally have had 6′ – 6.5′ beds, but they have waned in popularity as crew cabs have become more common.

Unique wheels: These 8 spoke wheels are definitely unique. A quick search by the author revealed no wheels from any of the OEM truck manufacturers that resemble these. Some Reddit users noted the similarity to Tesla’s turbine wheels. You might even say they have a Blade Runner, Cyberpunk style to them.

Exhaust pipes(?): Well, that might end our speculation. While this could mean it is a prototype of an ICE pickup, it may also be a red herring, purposely installed to cover up it’s true identity. Rivian has been known to use Ford F-150 pickup bodies to disguise their test mules, but they lacked exhaust pipes.

Sparse undercarriage: the quality of the image gets grainy at this point, so its very difficult to make out any details of the undercarriage. However, from this image, there are no major visible distinguishing features, suggesting the *possibility* that this truck is on a electric skateboard platform.

Tight wheel wells: this one is interesting, but might make sense for an electric pickup. Most trucks have much more room in the wheel wells to allow for longer suspension travel. But this truck’s tires appear to be very close to the wheel wells in the front and back. One explanation? Aerodynamic drag. A theoretical adjustable air-ride suspension might be a feature of electric trucks, allowing them to lower their profile at highway speeds, therefore decreasing their drag coefficient and extending their range. Then, the ride height and ground clearance could be raised for off-road or towing needs. Tesla has offered air suspension as an option for the Model S and X. Just a theory.

With the recently announced Model Y unveiling next week, we wonder if Elon might surprise us with a preview of the Tesla pickup, as “one more thing,” made famous by Steve Jobs. Musk has stated publicly that the pickup would be unveiled this summer. But with recent announcements by Rivian and Ford about their electric pickups it wouldn’t be surprising for Tesla to accelerate their plans.

Based on previous information, Tesla currently ranks third in our electric pickup production tracker, behind Rivian and Workhorse.
