The biggest surprise of Elon Musk’s Master Plan Part Deux was his intention to begin developing electric trucks and buses. Today, the SpaceX and Tesla CEO unveiled the first look of what could be a version of the future of trucking.

The trucks, which didn’t look that much different from the typical semi trucks you see on the road today, will be in production by 2019, Musk said at the unveiling event on Thursday. But with little success meeting production goals he set for his mass market sedan, the Model 3, it’s unclear how Musk will come through on his promises of an electric truck.
