When Musk first talked about the Tesla van, I knew it might be the Tesla I aimed to purchase. Coming from a Filipino-American household, I knew I’d want an even bigger Tesla. Whereas rising up in New Jersey, I used to be surrounded by household, and it simply stored rising via the years with extra infants, cousins, visiting family members, and so forth.
Evidently, we by no means actually slot in one automotive. We favored taking large household journeys, and it might take a minimum of three autos to move all of us. At one level, we tried renting one large van to move to the Poconos, and it wasn’t large enough due to everybody’s baggage. We celebrated every others milestones too and sometimes confirmed up for one another on particular events, so we additionally took up quite a lot of parking house throughout graduations, household dinners, and so forth.
So, the concept of an even bigger Tesla is nice for extra folks than Musk may suppose. It isn’t nearly having extra infants, both. Now that I’ve a household, I understand that extra infants additionally takes extra folks to look after them. Within the Philippines, the place I stay now, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and even cousins are extra concerned in household actions—they usually all want to slot in a minimum of one or two automobiles.
Final yr, my dad and mom and two sisters visited the Philippines, and we totaled seven folks, together with my husband, our son, and myself. Our automotive match roughly seven folks, however I needed to borrow my uncle’s van throughout my dad and mom and sisters’ keep so we might journey the Philippines AND carry our belongings.
When Tesla launched the Robovan, I used to be just a little unhappy as a result of it was extra like a Tesla bus. A Tesla that’s just a little larger than the Tesla Mannequin X or Mannequin Y and smaller than the Tesla Robovan with loads of cargo house could be nice for all Tesla clients with larger households wherever on the earth.
