Despite the dominance of Ford, General Motors, and Ram in the full-sized pickups market, Tesla's unique design and Elon Musk's projection of 500,000 sales per year could generate significant revenue. However, potential challenges include the margin impact of an electrified pickup truck and the possibility of the design not appealing to traditional pickup truck buyers.

Tesla Inc. has extended the duration of its auto loans from 72 months to between 36 and 84 months, in response to rising interest rates. However, this could result in customers paying more than their car's actual value. The Federal Reserve has been aggressively hiking the fed funds rates since March 2022, with interest rates now at a 16-year high of 5%-5.25%. The futures market has priced in a nearly 100% probability of a further 25-basis-point increase in rates to 5.25%-5.50%.
