CyberSUV / CyberVan hints dropped by Musk?? [Updated w/ more from Elon]

[PATEL]

EVEN MORE:

Even more hints - Elon reposted this X post about needing 3 row car.

There's definitely some smoke now, just hope there's a fire in the form of an SUV.

UPDATE 3/26:

The CyberSUV / CyberVan plot thickens!! Elon replied "Noted" to someone requesting 3 rows of seats, each with its own pair of doors??

Original post

https://www.teslarati.com/elon-musk-tesla-developing-new-vehicle-way-cooler-than-minivan/

Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company is developing a new vehicle, and it will be “way cooler than a minivan.”




It sounds as if Tesla could be considering a new vehicle to fit the mold of what a larger family would need, and as fans have been demanding it for several years and the company is phasing out the Model X, its only family-geared vehicle, it sounds as if it could be the perfect time.

There are a handful of things Musk could be talking about, and as many Tesla owners have wanted a vehicle along the lines of a minivan for hauling around their family, speculation has persisted about what the company would do in terms of developing something for that exact use case.

There were several options, and some of them seemed to be already available. Musk posted on X yesterday that the Cybertruck has three sets of isofix attachments and could fit three child seats or three adults, and it seemed to be a way to deflect plans for a new, larger vehicle as a Model Y L appeared to be present at Giga Texas.

There is also the Robovan, the large people mover that Tesla unveiled at the “We, Robot” back in 2024.

However, it seems Tesla could be developing something like a CyberSUV, something that is going to be large enough to haul around a car full of kids, but could be developed with the company’s aesthetic of the company’s most recent releases: this would likely include a light bar and a more sleek, futuristic look.

We’ve mocked up some potential looks for Tesla’s speculative vehicle in the past:

Tesla has teased the potential of a CyberSUV in the past, showing off clay models that it developed back in September in a teaser video called “Sustainable Abundance.”

Fans and owners have been calling for this development for a very long time, and it seems like Tesla might be ready to finally answer the call on a large SUV. With the segment being dominated by combustion engine vehicles, Tesla could truly disrupt the large SUVs that have been mainstays.

The Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon would feel some additional pressure, and it would be possible for Tesla to infiltrate some of those sales and pull consumers to electric powertrains.

As the Model S and Model X sunset process is truly hitting full swing, it might be time to consider Tesla’s next option in terms of vehicle development.

If it's the same as my CT, drive by wire, AWS, power share I'm all in 100%

It's probably something without a steering wheel or built off the MY platform (MYL) since he's said maybe 10 times since the last earnings call that the Roadster will be the last new vehicle launch with a steering wheel coming from Tesla.

unless of course, as he always does, he changed his mind.. and is trying to leverage the Cybertruck line, it's really just a different body on the same platform, from the rendered look of it. It wouldn't be a stretch to mfr this on the Cybertruck line. BTW, that is what the Model X was, a modified Model S with a different body, and what the Model Y is, a modified Model 3 with a slightly different body.

Better be cybertruck platform. Open the floodgates

I really think it's going to be the Ro-bovan, to be honest.

I think it's too soon for that.. Elon probably realizes that. Yes, after the RoboTaxi is deployed AND succesful, that wil come in due time, but they are ending the Model S and X shortly, so an SUV on the Cybertruck platform seems like a possability, as that line is under utilized, and they seem to want to keep the Cybertruck.

That’s the guy who promised a flying roadster a few years back, don’t hold your breath.

The altered shape will confuse losers for a couple seconds before they learn to raise the middle finger salute again.

That would be my guess as well. Elon has been talking about the Robovan since 2022, but it's never been seen, except for a prototype at the "We, Robot" event in October 2024. It's due.

Maybe just maybe theres something to this after all..
