Elon Musk describes Tesla pickup as 'armored personnel carrier from the future'

Tesla's upcoming electric pickup truck could be unveiled as soon as November, and the internet is teeming with mockups showing what it could look like.

The problem with those images (see examples here and here and here) is that they're nothing like the real thing, at least according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

"Cybertruck doesn’t look like anything I’ve seen bouncing around the Internet. It’s closer to an armored personnel carrier from the future," Musk tweeted Monday.

Musk's tweet echoes an earlier comment of his, when he said the truck will be like "something that came out of a sci-fi movie."

If all of this sounds vague, just check out Tesla's own teaser image of the pickup, below. Yes, you can see next to nothing in that image, which allegedly depicts the front of the truck.

Musk's new tweet spawned more guesses of what the pickup might look like, this time more in the vein of an armored personnel carrier type of vehicle, only futuristic.

With the official reveal inching closer, we should find out what it really looks like soon enough. Other than it looking like it's from the future, we don't know much about the pickup's features, but Musk did say before that the price will likely start under $50,000.
