For the enthusiasts, what¡¯s better than a Tesla Model S on the roads? Probably a Tesla Bike. And in case that gets you excited, know that this might be a reality in the near future, as the confirmation for this comes from none other than the company¡¯s CEO - Elon Musk.
In a recent interview, Musk clears the long sought question by many. "I think we might do an electric bike, yeah," is what the tech-entrepreneur said. Given the history of promises made by Musk and his constant endeavor?to fulfill?them, we can be assured that we might see electric bikes by Tesla on the roads soon.
Tesla¡¯s expansion plans are not just limited to electric bikes. Among all the product line-up already confirmed, the US automaker will be launching a Tesla semi-truck ¡®Semi¡¯ and a pickup truck soon. In addition, there is a Model Y crossover SUV and a new version of its Roadster sports car on the cards.

"I think we've got the most exciting product roadmap of any company in the world," says Musk.
Musk, however, made it clear that there will be no electric scooter from Tesla¡¯s kitty. "There were some people in the studio who wanted to make a scooter, but I was like 'Uh, no,'" Musk cleared. He cited a ¡®lack of dignity¡¯ for the scooters as a reason for this.
This is just a hint at the company¡¯s upcoming products though. No timeline has been provided by Musk as of now and keeping in mind his over-ambitious deadlines and consequent misses, the electric bike from Tesla might take its own sweet time to hit the roads. But the million dollar question here is, will it be autonomous?
