Nothing that Elon Musk announces is a surprisingly any more but plans to launch electric buses and electric trucks caught many in the market by surprise. The merge of his sister company SolarCity with Tesla will also add to the company’s product range with plans to introduce solar powered battery products. While some are concerned that Tesla Motors is not yet the finished article the serial entrepreneur already has his eyes on the next expansion stage.
Is this too much too soon? Or is Elon Musk simply one step ahead of the game?

This move would have been months if not years in planning - do not write-off Elon Musk, he knows what he is doing.
