First of all, there will be a small SUV based on the Model 3. Dubbed Model Y, it should be smaller and more affordable then the Model X. If Tesla’s objectives are met, it should also be built in larger numbers.

The other news is a little more surprising: according to M. Musk, the Model X’s chassis could spawn a sort of minivan. The exact word used was Bus, meaning the newcomer could be larger than an SUV.

Lastly, a rumour was launched: when asked about the eventuality of a commercial van, based on the eventual Tesla pickup truck, Musk said it would make sense.
