Next year, Tesla will reveal its recently-confirmed Minibus in concept form, showing the world what Elon Musk believes could be a solution to public transport.
While at this stage it is unclear exactly what form the Tesla Minibus will take, we know it will be based around the Model X, be totally electric (obviously), aim to replace traditional people carriers and provide semi-autonomous driving.
Given that the firm is investing so much into developing this vehicle, is it possible that it could also create a smaller minivan catered towards families rather than public bus companies? Well Theophilus Chin has rendered up just what a model could look like.
As Musk made no mention of such a model in his second master plan, it’s highly improbable Tesla will launch a van like this. Additionally, the Model X already has the ability to carry seven people, making a minivan somewhat redundant.
Nevertheless, these images do give us an idea of how the confirmed Minibus could look, albeit on a slightly smaller scale. Considering how important aesthetics are for Tesla, it could conceivably design the vehicle to look like a sporty van, rather than a bland and mundane commercial bus conceived to ferry passengers around cities.
