Tesla minivan

Tesla might make a minivan. At some point. Maybe. At least that’s what Musk told Automotive News Publisher Jason Stein this summer, echoing similar comments he made on the company’s earnings call in January. While he hasn’t offered a time frame, a van likely wouldn’t happen before the Cybertruck, Roadster or the semitruck. Musk said he wants to build it if only for looks. “One thing would be, can you make a minivan that looks good? Nobody’s ever done that,” he said.
