Tesla Van

[Rocksnsalt]

Thanks @r456 posting about the Tesla Van elsewhere.
Unfortunately I couldn’t pull up any info on the Tesla site, just the 404 message. So if you can post the Tesla Van link please do.

420mi range (I’m guessing that’s in ideal conditions and not running heat or AC?)
0-60 in 7.1 seconds ( yes please)
Top speed 99mph? (no thanks on going 99 in a van)

Imaging the fun in high winds… or will the battery pack provide stability?
We gonna need some ground clearance on that thing Elon.

And satellite beam charging capabilities…

I wonder if it’ll be capable off road like the cybertruck.
(google cybertruck hells gate if you doubt that. It’s 1.32 of 😮)

Seems like it’d be a great local surf van, soccer team/airport/hotel shuttle etc. Time will tell about other uses.

UPDATE: FAKE NEWS it’s all someones AI imagination 🫤

From my memory, we heard rumors about 1st Tesla roadster for about 10 years before you could see it on the streets.
That become very unpopular car and I wonder what happen to them, as I don't see them anymore. First time I saw it park, I start looking for remote....
Than how many years of delay had Cybertruck?
I am not holding my breath for the van.

Lol so it’s all BS… what a surprise.
More fake news.
And yes new tech products can take a while and very commonly have numerous delays.
That’s just part of the deal with new technologies.

Rivian can take a breath.


Note the concept info on the rocker panel…

A heck of a lot more sensible idea than that Cybertruck Tonka Toy.

True.
Love it or hate it I’ve seen some videos of the cybertruck hauling heavy lumber, brick, etc. It seemed to do fine. Not for me though.

 

[glasseye]

I don't hate it. I just think it's idiotic. Both the manufacturer and the customer.

 

[asimba2]

I would definitely be interested in that. The way you know it's fake is no Tesla will ever take 7 seconds to reach 60.

It's gotta be a shorter van.

 

[Rocksnsalt]

Anyway it’s apparently fake news. Too bad, it would be interesting to see.

Should I delete the thread?

Nah, let's see how it long it takes for the EV bashing and environmental arguments to begin.

Well, I prefer harmony, and this isn’t the dz…
But I get what you’re sayin’ lol.

You're ok with an electric van as being the ONLY option as required by law?

This would greatly help TSLA stock price

Word must be out, TSLA at 193.75 up 6.32 (!) as I write this.
We’ll see how it ends the day lol

 

[Kajtek1]

Even if it is fake news now, not the first time in our life the fantasy can become reality sooner that we can realize.
Than who is going to stop me from buying Tesla semi and converting it to campervan?

Musk will have it in your sales contract to not convert.
Don't use long screws on floor mounts.

And don't forget, the mother ship controls teslas, if you do anything they can't comprehend, it becomes a brick....
I would never buy ANY product that has to be tracked and can be shut off at the will of the MFG.....

I can only see one benefit of camper van made by Tesla, you basically don't need to build the separate 12V house battery system.

I had a chance to look at Rivian Amazon delivery van, it looked pretty slick IMHO, I know it's lacking the battery capacity to be able to be utilized as the camper van.

Here is the van prior to get Amazon exterior treatment:
