Tesla unveils the Robovan at the “We, Robot” event. Explore its features and find out when it will be available for purchase.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk unveiled a surprise innovation, the Tesla Robovan at the “We, Robot” event in California. Musk came to the venue in a completely self-driving Robotaxi known as the ‘Cybercab’, but the star of the show was the Robovan prototype.
The Robovan, a full electric self-driving people mover for up to 20 passengers has a futuristic aesthetic, inspired by trains of the 1920s and 1930s.
It has sharp edges and no clear front or rear windshield and has a small slim headlight stretching across the front of the car making it look like an art deco car. The headlight even protrudes into several bands spiraling around the car and thus enriches the overall design.
Musk also said that like the recently introduced Cybertruck, the Robovan was not aimed at looking like other cars and this underscored Tesla’s penchant for unconventional design.
