The electric vehicle world is once again shaken. Elon Musk has just confirmed that Tesla is developing an entirely new model: a super-sized electric MINIVAN – but not like any minivan you’ve ever seen. This is the futuristic, family-ready “CyberSUV,” featuring breakthrough tech, bold design, and seating for more than seven.
Elon Musk Confirms: “We’re Building the World’s Most Powerful Electric Minivan”
In a short but explosive comment on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk dropped a bombshell that sent Tesla fans and auto analysts into a frenzy:
“A Tesla minivan is in development. Think larger than Model X. Roomier. Radical design. Not boring. Not slow. More like a CyberSUV.”
— Elon Musk, X.com, May 18, 2025
The post immediately went viral across EV forums, automotive blogs, and tech communities. This isn’t just another family vehicle—it’s a direct challenge to popular minivans like the Toyota Sienna, Kia Carnival, and Honda Odyssey, and even to large three-row SUVs like the Rivian R1S and Mercedes EQB.
CyberSUV: When Minivans Aren’t Just for Soccer Moms
Tesla doesn’t want you to call this a “traditional minivan.” Instead, Musk refers to it as a “CyberSUV for future families.” Here’s what we know so far: Bigger Than the Model X
Expected to stretch over 5.2 meters long and 1.8 meters tall, it will comfortably seat 8 to 9 adults while still leaving room for cargo. A fold-flat third row and flat floor architecture inspired by Rivian are likely.
New-Gen Falcon Wing Sliding Doors?
Leaked info from Gigafactory Texas suggests Tesla is experimenting with hybrid Falcon Wing–sliding smart doors, allowing easier entry in tight spaces—ideal for families with children or elderly passengers.
Interior: Like a Space Capsule
Expect a curved 20-inch center display, full-cabin FSD entertainment mode, and AI-personalized seating. Tesla’s signature panoramic glass roof, non-leather materials, and even massage seats may come standard.
Autonomous Level 4 & “Nanny AI”
Most surprising: Tesla is rumored to include a feature called “Parent Assist AI“—a system that monitors child behavior, detects safety risks, and can automatically adjust lighting, temperature, or even call emergency services.
Power & Range: Say Goodbye to Weak Minivans
Tesla doesn’t build slow cars. The upcoming CyberMinivan is expected to match the performance of the Cybertruck Dual Motor:
- 0–60 mph in under 4.9 seconds
- Up to 470 miles range (Max Range version)
- Next-gen 4680 battery cells with V4 Supercharging (350 kW)
This means it’ll be faster than many sports sedans, while remaining quiet, energy-efficient, and ultra-safe. Built on a Cybertruck-style frame, it will even support light off-roading—ideal for road trips and outdoor adventures with large families.
Tesla Is Redefining the Family Vehicle Market
While legacy automakers struggle between SUVs and minivans, Tesla is launching an entirely new category – the versatile CyberSUV, blurring the lines between tech, luxury, and utility.
Some analysts are calling this “the Model Y for big families,” but what Elon Musk is promising goes far beyond just another electric car—this is a futuristic living space on wheels, where AI, design, and human needs are seamlessly integrated.
When Will It Launch?
While no official timeline has been given, sources close to Giga Texas and Giga Mexico suggest the vehicle has already entered the Alpha design phase, with a concept reveal likely by late 2025 and mass production by late 2026.
Final Thoughts: This Is Not Just a Minivan – It’s a Cyber Revolution
Tesla isn’t just building a new vehicle—they’re creating a mobile lifestyle ecosystem. The CyberMinivan (or CyberSUV-Family, as some call it) marks the next step in Elon Musk’s vision of Tesla as an intelligent, human-centric mobility platform.
What do you think? Could this be the next Model Y—perhaps even outselling the Cybertruck?
