Chrysler’s introduction of the minivan concept in 1984 is credited with saving the company. A cross between the old station wagon & commercial van, it became a huge success & iconic of young American families. Tesla’s van could, conceivably, have similar success.
I don’t see why hardly no one is talking about that large roof on this Tesla van. A solar panel kit as an option that would generate about fifty miles per day if park in the open Sun 🌞. Making this van to perform like the Áptera solar car. With solar panels loaded up….. you might not have to go to a charging station at all. 😎
The integration of Starlink technology in the Tesla Van is intriguing. This could be a huge selling point for businesses needing constant connectivity.
Offering this as a work/delivery van would appeal to more audience probably. Then letting people know about the other configurations in a later release.
Here in Germany, we have Volkswagen 🚙. They have already built an electric camping van, the ID Buzz. It's cool that Tesla is also managing to build an electric camper! 😎 🏕🚍
Release date; shortly after the new roadster - Tesla simply has to secure worldwide rights to the dilithium crystals projected for their new 4680 cels.
We like it very much, but will the van have a stove, refrigerator, restroom and separate toilet? Your Van seem to have more width than others, maybe ion batteries with converts. That would be great because if a family were traveling and could not make it to charge the Van it would be another alternative.
Any family van has to go up against the Honda Odyssey which out does this Tesla concept especially for use in West Virginia or any Bavarian like driving environment. This could be a good taxis for flat world areas.
I’d have just simply used the Tractor unit of the Semi and made it a 6 wheel all Purpose van. Other then a bit of sheet metal just use the complete chassis batteries drive system complete!
There is an image of a van on Tesla's website covered in cloth, and it is not as high as the one depicted here. The original release date was supposed to be August 8, but Musk confirmed the reveal has been pushed to October 10th "to allow for improvements to the vehicle." (source X/Grok)
