Tesla has changed dramatically from its former self. The company’s shares have taken a nosedive, leading many consumers to lose confidence in Tesla vehicles. Nevertheless, CEO Elon Musk believes he will captivate drivers with a forthcoming model, which he mentioned in a [post on X](https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2036673380582400198?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2036673380582400198%7Ctwgr%5E109b7c959fe8448e4ee7d4f1fb2824912ee77d73%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jalopnik.com%2F2135805%2Felon-musk-tesla-way-cooler-minivan%2F) on March 25, asserting it will be “way cooler than a minivan.”
You might be curious about what Musk envisions. So are we, as that’s all the information he provided. Musk has followed up his announcement with assertions that Neuralink enables individuals with ALS to communicate once more, along with numerous videos generated by Grok (just days after [OpenAI decided to discontinue its video creation application Sora](https://www.bgr.com/2132329/openai-discontinued-sora-app/)). However, he has not mentioned what could be Tesla’s largest product both figuratively and literally to date.
Numerous commenters have shared their interpretations of what this “cooler-than-a-minivan” vehicle might resemble. The majority of these concepts resemble a modified Cybertruck, referred to as the “CyberSUV,” while others speculate that Musk is hinting at the impending release of the Tesla Robovan, the self-driving van announced by the company in 2024. But, for all we know, Tesla may simply unveil another [Powerwheels-like toy for children based on an existing Tesla model](https://www.bgr.com/2124943/weirdest-products-tesla-makes-not-cybertruck/).
### Approach the announcement with caution
Typically, an announcement claiming that a vehicle in development will be “cooler than x” is cause for some excitement, even if just a little. However, to be frank, Musk has a track record of promising too much and delivering too little.
Let’s consider Tesla’s most recent product, the Cybertruck. Numerous drivers believe [the Cybertruck is an unreliable option](https://www.bgr.com/2049186/is-tesla-cyber-truck-reliable-according-consumer-reports/). The vehicle tends to disassemble and operates on technology that hasn’t been extensively tested. In 2019, when Musk showcased a physical model of the Cybertruck, he claimed the windows were bulletproof, but during the demonstration, they barely survived a steel ball casually thrown at them.
Musk’s initiatives can fail. His vision for an affordable, speedy mode of transportation with the hyperloop has so far proved to be little more than a fantasy. Don’t be shocked if the vehicle Musk touts as “way cooler than a minivan” ends up being just an ordinary minivan that runs on electricity instead of gasoline — if it even makes it to production, that is.
