Ilon Musk compared competitors cars with "children's toys"

Information about Tesla electric pickup hovers inInternet for several years in a row. In late January, it became known that the presentation of the long-awaited news will take place in the summer of 2019, so Ilon Musk began to share interesting details more often. It is already known that the entrepreneur considers pickup his favorite among all the cars of the company, and in spite of everything he wants to be made in the style of "Blade Runner". Judging by the latest Ilona tweets, another feature of the novelty will be the pulling force.

The other day, the founder of Tesla publicly ridiculedpower of the 2018 Dodge Ram pickup. On the message of the Dodge advertising account about its ability to carry 12,000 pounds (about 5,500 kilograms) of cargo daily, Ilon Musk responded with the message:

12,000 pounds !? How insignificant. Do you produce children's toys?

This is not the first time an entrepreneurcompares the products of competitors with children's toys. Before the announcement of the Supercharger V3 charging station, he said that in comparison with her, a Porsche with a charging capacity of 350 kW would also seem to be a childish little thing. At that time, the remark was inconclusive and even stupid, because in fact the charging ability of the Supercharger V3 hardly exceeded 250 kW.

12,000 lbs !? How puny. Do you construct children’s toys?

According to Ilona's tweets, the future pickup will beto possess more features such as mileage up to 804 kilometers, all-wheel drive transmission with a dynamic suspension and the same pulling power equal to an unimaginable 300,000 pounds (about 130,000 kilograms). It is possible that Ilon simply exaggerates, and the load capacity is 30,000 pounds.
