It was a rather busy week in the world of electric trucks. There was new, fresh video of the mighty Atlis XT, some more revealing footage of the Rivian R1T tank turn, a wild Tesla truck render and even dispute surrounding the million-pound pull made by the electric Ford F-150. 

Let's check out some of this week's news highlights related to electric trucks.

Tesla Pickup Truck Wildly Rendered By Star Wars Artist

You have already seen many renderings of the future Tesla pickup truck, but none like this one. Not because it is something official – what we would love to have and to show you – but because of the author. Have you ever heard of Alex Jaeger? Well, you should!  

The man is simply a senior visual effects art director and concept designer for Industrial Light and Magic. In other words, he has created designs for movies such as Star Wars II, MIB and a long list you can check for yourself on IMDB. And he is also a fan of cars. Tesla vehicles in special.
