On today\u2019s van-tastic episode of Quick Charge<\/a>, Elon Musk teases a people-hauling Tesla that\u2019s 10 years late, California says there are ZERO Robotaxis on the road, and the Chinese EVs continue to outsell the brand in Europe.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nearly a decade since Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted a new people moving EV might be on its way, and while the company rolled out a twenty passenger Robovan concept in 2024, Musk insists the company\u2019s got something coming that\u2019s \u201ccooler\u201d than a minivan.<\/p>\n

By definition, then, it\u2019s not the Robovan<\/a>. Or a Cybertruck.<\/p>\n

In smarter news, we\u2019ve got Vanair\u2019s latest solar-powered semi truck add-on that can help slash emissions and operating costs for large commercial fleets. You can check it out here, then let us know what you think in the comments.<\/p>\n
