Elon Musk continues to hint Tesla is developing a new, larger vehicle

Elon Musk continues to drop hints about Tesla’s plans to introduce a new, larger vehicle to its lineup.

Currently, Tesla’s only true family-focused vehicle for more than four people is the Model X. This SUV offers up to three rows of seating for seven but has remained largely unchanged over the years. The Model Y can also seat seven, though its third row is significantly more compact than the Model X’s.

While Tesla has emphasized that its future vehicle development revolves around self-driving technology, there’s still demand for vehicles designed for human control—at least until Tesla fully perfects its autonomous systems.

At the recent “We, Robot” event in October, Tesla unveiled the concept for a vehicle dubbed the "Robovan." Though still unofficially named, the design is tailored for transporting sports teams, large groups, or even cargo—offering a versatile alternative to traditional options like U-Haul vans.

However, there still seems to be a request from fans of Tesla that they need something, whether it would be the Robovan or something different.

Musk continues to drop hints on what could be coming:

Musk admits Tesla has “some other things” in development besides the Robovan, a big positive for those who have big families and require more than just seven seats.

It was not the only hint Musk dropped regarding a larger vehicle and its potential to be a part of Tesla’s future plans:

Something definitely seems as if it is on the way. Tesla has already said that it will have a few new vehicles hitting the market in the first half of next year as affordability takes focus.

Now, we could be looking at a few hints at what might be coming besides the Robovan for larger families and groups, especially considering Musk continues to hint toward it.
