Elon Musk hints at a new Tesla family EV, potentially a large SUV based on the Cybertruck, filling the three-row niche and expanding the lineup.
Elon Musk has hinted at a new family electric vehicle from Tesla, stating the company is preparing a model “cooler than a minivan.” This could refer to a large SUV based on the Cybertruck, which would fill the three-row vehicle niche in the brand’s lineup. There’s even speculation that Musk might go further and create a four-row crossover.The discussion was sparked by a social media post where Musk responded to a request for a minivan. Instead, the Tesla CEO indicated something more interesting is in the works. Additional interest came from his repost of renders showing a three-row SUV in the Cybertruck style.This essentially marks the first indirect signal that Tesla is considering expanding its lineup with a large family electric car featuring unconventional design.Using the Cybertruck platform seems like a logical step. This would allow the company to reduce costs through parts sharing and bring the new model to market faster.Elon Musk’s social mediaAn alternative scenario involves launching an extended version of the Model Y. A Model Y L with a longer wheelbase and three rows of seats already exists and is sold in China and Australia.With the end of Model X production, Tesla now has a gap in the large family SUV segment. This is significant because three-row models remain one of the most popular segments in the U.S. market.A new SUV could serve as a way to monetize the Cybertruck platform and revive sales growth amid slowing demand for the current lineup.If Tesla does introduce a CyberSUV, it would represent a logical expansion of its model range.
