Bigger Tesla for families, Fact or Fiction?

[@RossBurrell-w8g]

A bit of a bump in subscribers! Keep up the great work 👍

[@ericdahl2915]

A lot of people are discussing this today, however the larger vehicle under the white cloak was never revealed. That image is clearly not the Robovan

[@FutureAzA]

I still believe that was just a placeholder.

[@kradwonders]

I’d love a Sienna type vehicle. Low to the ground so grandparents can enter, square back end to carry “stuff”, and a power wheelchair or mobility scooter loading made easy.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

Changing Y’s roof - like a typical flat-top SUV - would easily add WAAY more space. Simple mod…

[@Rob_Womack]

Thanks Brian!

Xmas lights should never come before Thanksgiving! After Thanksgiving dinner is usually when we even get the decorations from the basement.

I think a micro-bus looking (but bigger, say small Sprinter size and better looking than the Buzz) people moving van, with a front that takes inspiration from the semi, would be awesome. This could then be a multi-vehicle platform, especially like a large Sprinter work/cargo van, that could address the delivery market, as well. All this speculation needs to be kept in check though - Tesla is great at multi-tasking, but their focus may be mostly limited to the Cybercab, for the foreseeable future.

[@machoopichoo2]

To build on my comment about appearances, a VW micro-bus looking (but larger) van, could diminish the aversion to "soccer mom" mini-vans. A mini-van in micro-bus clothing.

[@garywozniak7742]

​@machoopichoo2 it sould be efficient, additdable, and no bigger than it has to be. We don't need another 9 or 10 thousand pound pig of an ev.

[@machoopichoo2]

​@@garywozniak7742 The Model X is 5,200 lbs. which is a lot but not massive. A medium sized Tesla van could be around that. To keep it in perspective, the heaviest Sprinter van is 6,800 lbs. empty. It's a fallacy that BEVs must be WAY heavier than ICE vehicles.

[@garywozniak7742]

@@machoopichoo2 "The weight of a Tesla Cybertruck depends on the model and trim, but it generally ranges from 6,600 to 6,900 pounds" "The curb weight of a Toyota Sienna minivan varies depending on the model year and trim level, but is generally between 4,610 and 4,675 pounds"

[@machoopichoo2]

​@@garywozniak7742 ​Talk about twisting yourself into a pretzel. You are comparing my rough estimate of a future Tesla BEV van to an existing hybrid mini-van? Your 600 lbs. difference = a "9 or 10 thousand pound pig"? I am not sure why you feel the need to bring up the CT, when we were discussing vans. Again, an existing ICE Sprinter could weigh 1,600 lbs. more than a reasonable projection for a Tesla van.

[@machoopichoo2]

The Mercedes is like a bad PowerPoint presentation...logos on every page.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

I am guessing a large SUV, non-model X, since that is what the market seems to want these days... But minivans look nicer, drive more like cars than the extra tall SUVs so an SUV is not what I would prefer...

[@miko20748]

? I told my buddy I was going to buy a Model 3 at the end of November. He said I should wait because there’s a new battery technology that will allow it to charge in about eight minutes. How long do we think that it will take for that car to come out because I’m going to need a car within the next six months. thanks for a great show, always entertaining. ?

[@slowercuber7767]

2:54 maybe the back door opens either way.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

EV9 is spring 2025, not out yet. Second and third row is two seats each like the Model X, although maybe bigger seats in the KIA?

[@FutureAzA]

Ah, so it is. Thank you!

[@Mark-M72]

1st Dec for the lights

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

KIA EV9 is $62 Grand - CDN. Few ICE SUVs are that inexpensive ❤

[@eddyjuteau589]

They should also name it the... hold your breath... Cyberban!!!😂

[@TeslaAiGirl]

Now I want to brand my steak lol. I’ll wash the branding iron first. 😂 Dying from the Cadillac names!

People who wind up with a big family have to be familiar with Vistiq.

[@JonasViatte]

I want to live in a Tesla van please

[@scottmiller2159]

Thanks!

[@FutureAzA]

Not everyone needs a 3rd row, but for those who do, there are options... pricey options, mind you, but that should normalize over time.

[@paulkearsley9509]

It sounds more like more Elon B.S. nothing will come from Elon's statement, only dispapoinment

[@soucyno1]

When do you think GM will wake up. Fire their CEO and put someone in there with even a little brains? A couple of cells working would be nice (including the batteries), but the only thing Mary led was GM right into the ground. If GM came out with an efficient, 120(or 125ish)kWh battery for over 500+ miles, a NACS charging infrastructure, and finally decided every car should be able to OTA update, they would be on top…right behind Tesla. They could use this for a pickup that can tow and a car that could drive way longer than most others. All under one roof…stop parts picking from everywhere. This is what will keep Tesla on top is their vertical integration. GM won’t get that anytime soon.

[@eddiegill]

In the works can mean a lot of things when Elon says it

[@FutureAzA]

Without a doubt.

[@3dagedesign]

No way am I leaving a mandatory comment. Also,.. no lights until December.

[@FutureAzA]

Post Thanksgiving seems reasonable to me.

[@ridewithme1098]

After Thanksgiving.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

QUESTION - Will the Tesla A.I. Car with 4 front wheels have electric steering?

[@FutureAzA]

So much steering you wouldn't believe. Too much, some say.

[@budgetaudiophilelife-long5461]

👋BRIAN,MARK 🤗

Go for a beer on me. thanks for what you do Brian. Appreciated.

[@FutureAzA]

Deal!

Need a Jeep Cherokee sized vehicle

[@FutureAzA]

Would be fun.

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

With no Jeep parts, please!
