Nobody in tech can stir up their fan base with a single tweet like Elon Musk. The cofounder of Tesla and Space X and the Boring Company did it again this week when he announced vague plans for Tesla to make a pickup truck after the Model Y.

The Model Y is Tesla’s hybrid SUV, which has been pegged to start production sometime in 2019.

Musk had also said before that the design of the pickup truck should be unveiled with the next 24 months.
