Tesla ute might resemble a futuristic APC

Hints continue to surface about what Tesla’s ute might look like when it’s unveiled in November.

“It’s closer to an armored personnel carrier from the future,” Tesla chief executive officer Elon Musk tweets in response to question about what he thinks of Tesla “pickup” drawings doing the rounds.

Teslarati expects the ute, if it does resemble a futuristic armoured personnel carrier (APC), will be Tesla’s boldest design yet.

It’s described as a “Cybertruck” by Musk who says the ute will be “quite different” from depictions he’s seen on the internet.

APCs are military vehicles which transport personnel into combat zones over often difficult terrain and usually have straight, bold lines and an aggressive look.
