TESLA SAYS IT’S PLANING TO OFFER TRUCKS, BUSES AND A SMALL SUV

-

Detroit — Electric car maker Tesla Motors is working on multiple new vehicles, including heavy trucks and buses that could be unveiled as early as next year.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company also plans a compact SUV and “a new kind of pickup truck” to complement its existing fleet. Tesla currently makes a luxury sedan, the Model S, and a luxury crossover, the Model X. It plans to release a lower-priced car, the Model 3, next year.

Musk discussed the products in his much-anticipate­d “master plan” for the company, which was posted on Tesla’s website last week. It was Musk’s second such manifesto; he released the first in 2006, when Tesla was first starting out and hadn’t yet sold its first car, the Tesla Roadster.
