Larger Teslas for Everybody

Petey B and Naomi Seibt completely defined why Tesla must launch greater vehicles. Nevertheless, Western nations aren’t the one ones that want greater Teslas. Larger Teslas can be in demand in different areas worldwide as properly.

When Musk first talked about the Tesla van, I knew it might be the Tesla I aimed to purchase. Coming from a Filipino-American household, I knew I’d want an even bigger Tesla. Whereas rising up in New Jersey, I used to be surrounded by household, and it simply saved rising by way of the years with extra infants, cousins, visiting kin, and many others.

For sure, we by no means actually slot in one automotive. We appreciated taking massive household journeys, and it might take not less than three automobiles to move all of us. At one level, we tried renting one massive van to move to the Poconos, and it wasn’t sufficiently big due to everybody’s baggage. We celebrated every others milestones too and sometimes confirmed up for one another on particular events, so we additionally took up a whole lot of parking house throughout graduations, household dinners, and many others.

So, the concept of an even bigger Tesla is nice for extra individuals than Musk would possibly assume. It isn’t nearly having extra infants, both. Now that I’ve a household, I understand that extra infants additionally takes extra individuals to take care of them. Within the Philippines, the place I reside now, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even cousins are extra concerned in household actions—and so they all want to slot in not less than one or two vehicles.

Final 12 months, my mother and father and two sisters visited the Philippines, and we totaled seven individuals, together with my husband, our son, and myself. Our automotive match roughly seven individuals, however I needed to borrow my uncle’s van throughout my mother and father and sisters’ keep so we may journey the Philippines AND carry our belongings.

When Tesla launched the Robovan, I used to be slightly unhappy as a result of it was extra like a Tesla bus. A Tesla that’s slightly greater than the Tesla Mannequin X or Mannequin Y and smaller than the Tesla Robovan with loads of cargo house can be nice for all Tesla prospects with greater households wherever on the planet.
