I’ve seen someone comment already that they think this could be the Wolverine model. Elon has said in the past that the Wolverine version would come second… but I think Tesla could have changed its mind due to recent events.
I’d be careful about saying it is confirmed, but the new platform they talked about yesterday is a *platform,* much like the Model 3 *platform* is also used for the Model Y, and (correct me if I am wrong) the Model X is essentially a larger version of the S. Therefore, we can expect a larger version of the robotaxi built on the same platform at some point in the future.
Likewise, Tesla and Elon have talked about the Cybertruck as a platform, specifically when mentioning the Wolverine variant.
If the past is anything to learn from, Tesla likes to start with the smaller version of the platform first, and then moves on to the larger version. I hope this is the case, and hopefully they won’t force the reservation holders to buy the midsize CT if they really wanted the full size CT.
Perhaps we will get lucky, and they will ramp the two versions in tandem. I could see this happening, especially if they design the variants to share as many parts as possible. Giga Texas certainly has the floor space.
Tesla pitched a full size truck and later mentioned they would make a midsize version as well. There is no reason to believe they would axe the full size truck, especially after all that “everything is bigger in Texas” talk.
