Elon Musk unveils Tesla's new Robovan at the company’s “We, Robot” robotaxi event in Burbank, California. Musk’s debut of the two-seat Cybercab prototype and a Robovan concept that can transport as many as 20 people let down Tesla investors who were hoping for more specifics.

Outstanding! Amazing. Imagine if we could make 'vans' or 'buses' to transport many people to common destinations!

[FU]

Just don’t have them in the hood. That sh!t will get tore up quick!😂

[BlindedByLogic]

They have already had EV buses in China that are autonomous for a few years.

[davidcomito]

I hope that thing never has to go over a speed bump.

[nonebusiness]

They're coming to take me away, ha ha, hee hee. That's what I imagined the shuttle going to the funny farm would look like.

[foobarbazbaa]

20 people? In ONE car? That's amazing. This man is a genius.

Elon musk keeps inventing things that already exits but “VaPorWAVe!!”

[Szymon.Skorka]

So will it be quicker than the Tesla Semi? Right? Right?

[SakisKotisis]

Wow!

Now what if you could chain many of those together and propel with one powerdrive/engine? They could transport hundreds!
What if, instead of lugging around a battery, they'd move on a fixed track that could power them while in motion?
And, to top it off, what if we would also bore tunnels where they could move on a schedule arriving at a station every 2'?

Talk about re-inventing the wheel ...

I am kind of disappointed, imo the robotaxi and robovan really don't have a market. I would of rather seen a tesla 2 and a van similar in size to the ford econoline. Is driving a vehicle something people really detest, imo I want to be in control of the vehicle even if it is statistically less safe, it seems to be human nature to have control.

So what will happen if this "van" goes over a speed bump, road debris or worse a potholes since it have no ground clearance. America roads are fill off potholes and debris.

[lisaronquillo]

Elon, you are the shit you can stay in the United States as long as you want we love you!!!

[kpdub]

Awesome design. Futuristic, yet very art deco!

[tpop]

These will be great to take people to MaGa conventions.

[hillst.]

I’m already looking at how I can convert it into a Stealthovan 😂

[RohlGarnier]

Honest question/curiosity: speed bumps? Potholes? Rock?

[mikeg]

That's a small section of a subway train, but with car seats and without windows.

[FrankGallagherr]

Elon is the greatest man in history bar none.

[reidflemingk]

"What happens if you need a vehicle that will break if it hits a pothole"

[terryrollins]

White seats on public transportation. Genius 😅
