2019 Tesla Minivan | Show Cars

Tesla’s “Master Plan, Part Deux” includes a wide variety of future vehicles, consisting of a pickup, a compact SUV, and even a semi-truck. Regretfully, however, Tesla might be missing an essential sector niche– the minivan. Sure, sales of minivans have actually dwindled with the exploding popularity of the crossover, however, families continue to rely on the minivan’s unequaled interior volume and downright handiness for hauling the kids and their stuff. With that in mind, we decided to render what a 2019 Tesla Minivan may appear like.

A similar chassis as the Model X SUV would likely underpin Tesla’s version of a minivan. Perhaps the wheelbase would be slightly stretched to accommodate for a larger third row and the unavoidable sliding rear doors. Perhaps Tesla engineers would develop some sort of hidden track system for those doors, getting rid of the unattractive space in the rear quarter panels. The potential for innovation is boundless.

Okay, so the nose wasn’t difficult to come up with. Tesla designers would surely utilize the corporate seek to retain a connection to the automaker’s other items. Remember, by this time, Tesla will have the two sedans, an SUV, a pickup truck, a city bus, and a semi-truck.
The Model X is, rather truthfully, practically a minivan anyhow. Swap those Falcon doors and sloping rear roof for something a bit more household friendly, and boom– a minivan. That’s the concept here. There are several major design changes our rendering reveals in between the Model X and the minivan. Up front, the position of the A-pillars are slid forward, making the most of the passenger compartment and producing that minivan appearance.
At the sides, a familiar deal with operates the digitally actuating sliding doors. The main support track for the doors could be hidden within the interior door panel. With the door closed, the interior panel would look regular, however, when opened, a narrow area of the panel would arch open, exposing a track system that runs along a hinge concealed in the C-pillar. It’s improbable, sure, however so are the Falcon Wing doors.

2019 Tesla Minivan Interior

Absolutely nothing short of Tesla’s high-class interior must be anticipated. Drivers will find it much like the Model X thanks to its totally digital gauge cluster and massive infotainment screen. Controls for nearly whatever will live in the tablet, much like previous Tesla items. State-of-the-art features like Autopilot will be present, too.

Seating arrangements will enable seven guests in a 2 + two + three configuration. The center captains chairs will move fore and aft, permitting extra leg room in the third-row bench. Due to the fact that the 3rd row will seat 3, the 2019 Tesla Minivan will have to be somewhat broader than the Model X, whose rearmost bench only seats 2. This differentiation in seating plans will assist set the Minivan apart from the Model X. it will also permit more interior volume. That’s specifically true for the center console between the front guests. Now the mother has a place to save her enormous handbag.

2019 Tesla Minivan Engine

Being a Tesla, this minivan will undoubtedly be totally electrical. It will also come in a range of battery sizes. We don’t expect Tesla to use a P90D variation, however, as minivans aren’t indicated to be quick. So thinking about that, the minivan would likely offer the 60D, 75D, and 90D versions, comparable (you guessed it) to the Model X.
The base 60D will be the budget-friendly entry-level model that many soccer moms will lust for. This powertrain offers 200 miles of range in the Model X, in addition to a six-second sprint to 60 mph and a leading speed of 130 miles per hour. Those are extremely decent numbers for a minivan. Choose the 75D and the range encompasses 237 miles, while efficiency stats stay the exact same.
Those seeking more power or a longer range will like the 90D. It supplies 257 miles of all-electric driving and a 0-to-60 mph sprint time of 4.8 seconds. That’s far beyond any existing minivan’s statistics. All-wheel drive will come as basic devices, making the Tesla a good option for northern states.

2019 Tesla Minivan Prices

Tesla would likely position its minivan between the Model 3 and Model S, so expect the base 60D to start around $45,000. Choosing the 75D would cost around $53,000 and the high-spec 90D would cost approximately $68,000. Adding options like Autopilot, the Premium Package, Smart Air Suspension Package, Subzero Weather Package, Ultra High Fidelity Sound Package, and Towing Package would up the rates.
