  • Tesla plans to launch several models in the coming years. They’re in various stages of development.
  • Deliveries of the semi-truck are scheduled to start in December.
  • Elon Musk says an electric pickup truck, sports car, and self-driving taxi will follow.

Tesla currently sells four models, but Elon Musk has grand plans to launch a range of new vehicles in coming years.

The company is working on a semi-truck, a cyberpunk pickup, and a supercar, and Musk has mentioned several other potential projects. Many of these vehicles have already faced long delays, and there’s no guarantee they’ll all see the light of day.

Tesla revealed the Semi in 2017 with lofty goals to revolutionize long-haul trucking. Now the company plans to deliver the first trucks to Pepsi in December, three years behind schedule.

The Semi, which will be built at Tesla’s factory in Nevada, will be able to travel up to 500 miles on a full charge, Tesla claims. It promises to recoup 70% of its range in 30 minutes when plugged into a fast-charger.
