This is what the Tesla bakkie may look like, if this rendering from Topspeed is something to go by.

It looks highly awkward without a bull bar or grille of any sort – almost like the stumpnose fish or a flat nosed Persian cat. We have no indication on what the bakkie will be based on but the company will most likely use the Model X wheelbase with a similar interior, without a third row of seats though.

If Elon Musk wants his bakkie to be taken seriously, it will have to have a decent sized truck bed and its electric drivetrain is bound to deliver ample torque making the bakkie great for towing.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
