Tesla Robovan Takes Center Stage at We, Robot Event
Tesla's Robovan: A Game Changer in Passenger Transport
Tesla CEO Elon Musk surprised attendees of the We, Robot event by presenting a new, unexpected vehicle: a passenger van. The Tesla Robovan (Musk pronounces it ruh-BO-vehn) features an art deco-inspired design, resembling a sleek train engine with no visible wheels. Musk announced that the vehicle can carry up to 20 people, or be used for transporting goods.
Breathtaking Features of the Robovan
- High passenger-density transport capabilities
- Potential for autonomous ride-hailing service
- Low cost travel of 5-10 cents per mile
"The Robovan is what’s gonna solve for high density," Musk explained. "So if you want to take a sports team somewhere, or you’re looking to really get the cost of travel down, then you can use the Robovan."
