Nikola Motors CEO Trevor Milton has offered a more traditional truck design to Elon Musk immediately after his demonstration of Tesla’therefore “Blade Runner” motivated Cybertruck.

The unveiling of the Cybertruck brought on polarizing outlooks from across the automotive community. 1 such individual was Nikola Motors CEO Trevor Milton. Taking to Twitter, Milton offered to “donate” a pickup truck design to Tesla that will hit a market”, obviously suggesting that Cybertruck could be restricted in its appeal.

“Hey @elonmusk we neglect ’t build automobiles or trucks, but I’m happy to give this truck design if your team wants to reach on a market. My team made it just in case and I’m happy to allow you to construct it since we won’t. Let me know and then we can speak,” mentioned Milton.

With a longstanding history between the 2 businesses – Nikola Motors’ hydrogen-electric Semi truck and the Tesla Semi compete in exactly the identical market – the deal by Milton, to Musk, to get a pickup truck design can be seen as a jab in Cybertruck’s polarizing design versus an undercover outreach to do business.

Unlike any conventional truck on the market, the Cybertruck gave people in search of a all-electric truck that a futuristic and new perspective on America’s largest automotive market, directed by Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram pickup trucks.

Tesla has never been famous for creating things that fit the norms of the automotive industry. The firm ’s goal was to drive consumers away from cars. The aesthetic design of the highly successful Model S and Model 3 sedans fit the general look of luxury automobiles. On the other hand, the insides of Tesla vehicles don’t fit those of its competitors. Using no switches or dials to control things such as the climate within the vehicle, Tesla has gone utilizing a dashboard screen that was huge in both of these vehicles.

Nikola Motors does not create sedans or trucks, but rather Semis and Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs). Nikola Motors will contend with Tesla’s all-electric Semi that has been purchased by large businesses, such as Frito Lay. It begins production in 2020. Even the Phoenix, Arizona-based Nikola Motors isn’t an all-electric maker, but rather a hybrid company that utilizes battery-powered and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. They’ve received financial backing from the U.S. Department of Energy to investigate fuel cell technologies.

Tesla Cybertruck will be available in a single motor, dual-motor, and a tri-motor (Plaid powertrain) configuration. Starting at $39,900, Cybertruck is available for pre-order and has an anticipated production date of overdue 2021.
