I personally don't think Musk gives a rats azz about the automotive industry beyond inspiring the development of new technology.
All Tesla patents are open for any auto maker to use.

In interviews he states his goal has been to lower the carbon footprint on earth through development of electric cars.

He's just wanted to be competitive enough to force automakers to develop electric cars, and he has done that.

I'm sure he is well aware the interest in this new truck design will be limited but he is also aware other auto manufactures will design and produce electric trucks others will find more appealing in appearance and function.

He just plants seeds in the auto industry.

His real personal interest and life goal is to walk on Mars before he dies. SpaceX is his method of making that happen.

He seems to be a kid at heart but does schit to make his dreams come true instead of just procrastinating about them..
