The We, Robot event that recently took place in Los Angeles, United States made a lot of noise for showcasing its latest innovations, including the Robovan. Elon Musk unveiled the futuristic-looking vehicle during the event.
The Robovan is an autonomous and electric vehicle and it is estimated to be the size of a small bus. The vehicle’s capacity can seat twenty people at once,. Not only can it transport people, it can also transport goods at the same time. The overall design of the van has a futuristic retro feel to it. Tesla’s new van comes with silver sides as well as black linings and details. Parallel light strips also run towards the ground and the van’s doors can slide right from the middle. Since it’s an auto vehicle, there is no steering wheel in sight.
There are no details regarding the actual price of the van but seeing how the Cybertruck costs around $39,900, Tesla’s van is expected to cost higher than what the Cybertruck costs. Tesla has also not put out any details regarding when production will start and when the van will be released. Such details might take longer to come out.
The Robovan that was unveiled at the We, Robot event is only a prototype. The event also saw some other interesting sights, the Optimus robots being one of them. These humanoid robots were walking around and giving attendees gist bags and drinks. The Optimus robots are engineered to perform tasks around the house. Musk has also added that the robots could walk among humans. However, the Optimus robots may only see its release in 2026.
