Elon Musk replied to X users pressing for a Tesla minivan Successor to the Model X could be on the cards But Tesla has been teasing an electric van or bus for decades During a recent interaction with Tesla fans on X, Elon Musk set the rumor mill in motion by hinting that the company is working on something way cooler than a minivan when pressed on the issue of a more spacious, family-orientated electric vehicle from the brand.

Speaking on the subject of Cybertruck, in particular how it can fit three child seats abreast in the rear, an X user asked the company to "make a minivan". The Tesla CEO then hinted that something even better is on the horizon. What form this vehicle would take is entirely up for speculation, although Tesla has only recently announced the discontinuation of its
flagship Model S and large, unconventional Model X SUV.

Not a Tesla App believes that a CyberSUV, based on the same platform as Cybertruck, would solve issues of the cramped interior and poor packaging of the Model X, while the website points out that models of larger Cybertruck-inspired SUVs were spotted in the background of official Tesla videos in the past.

Chief designer Franz von Holzhausen told Tesla fans to wait and see when numerous eagle-eyed viewers pointed out the teasers. However, Tesla

also perfectly possible that Musk was referring to the Robovan or a similar fully autonomous project that could transport multiple passengers.

After all, the company has scaled back its ambitions to produce new vehicle platforms in order to focus on transportation as a service , as well as AI
and humanoid robots.

On top of this, the Cybertruck has proven a massive flop in terms of overall sales, while Teslas grip on the EV market is steadily slipping, as an increasing number of Chinese manufacturers have started chipping away at
sales in Europe and beyond.

If the refreshed Roadster project is any example to go by, we could be
