Business Insider reports:
To take on the F-Series, this Tesla pickup truck will actually have hauling and towing capabilities. On top of that, the Tesla pickup won't have a emissions because it is electric. I think that will battle the Diesel Ram 1500 since a pull for the Ram 1500 has to be its nicer fuel economy numbers.Musk's comments about the truck came after he was asked whether Tesla would ever make a fleet truck for the likes of FedEx or UPS. He said that, yes, Tesla was planning to make a truck, but not a commercial one, because the market opportunity for commercial trucks is much smaller. Musk said the Tesla truck would be modeled on Ford's F-Series in part because of that truck's remarkable popularity.

I don't think they really take any market share away from the real trucks to be honest
The range is so limiting... And repairs are just way too expensive. Most people keep their trucks until they break down. i fear these electric trucks will break down a bit too early.
