The next gen roadster is going to be a convertible.

I can't imagine they are creating a new frame for a semi truck or pick up truck. I've got to imagine they are going to partner with someone like they did with lotus for their first roadster.
Honestly, the advantages of building a frame around the electric drivetrain are so huge, I can't imagine them reusing one built for internal combustion engines at this point.
I would imagine that the new roadster will also share a frame with the Model 3 (assuming it's a different frame from the Model S)
I really can't imagine Telsa trying to compete against the F-150.
