Elon Musk is a visionary for whom even the wildest ideas and toughest entrepreneurial journeys are not impossible. As the saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way, and it's evident that the CEO of Tesla and the richest person in the world has been guided by this principle for a long time. How else can we explain his success in almost everything he sets his sights on?
Tesla is preparing the transportation vehicle of the future
The American automaker Tesla has already introduced Models S, 3, X, Y, as well as the electric pickup Cybertruck and Roadster, but last but not least, the electric tractor Semi. However, Elon Musk mentioned another model years ago that the company plans to include in its roadmap, but time went by, and nothing happened.
The latest announced, yet still unrevealed, Tesla model is a kind of transportation vehicle of the future that could potentially replace or at least be an interesting alternative to traditional urban public transportation. So, it won’t be a conventional car but rather a minibus or minivan.
Musk already revealed in 2016 that the company is developing heavy-duty trucks and urban transportation vehicles “for larger passenger numbers.“At that time, it was said to be in the early stages of development, with plans for unveiling the vehicle the following year, 2017. However, while the Semi truck was unveiled and delivered to its first customer last year, we have yet to see anything regarding the alleged “urban transportation vehicle” other than a computer render from Tesla’s sister company, The Boring Company.

The first video of a secret Tesla has appeared on the internet
And now, it seems that everything is starting to fit together beautifully. Musk’s company, The Boring Company, is likely secretly developing a new urban mass transportation vehicle in collaboration with engineers from Tesla. Content creator Jacob Orth posted an intriguing video on Twitter, supposedly showcasing a prototype of the mentioned future electric vehicle. He claimed to have filmed it at The Boring Company headquarters in Las Vegas, where the company is constructing underground tunnels.
Currently, Tesla electric vehicles, specifically Models X and Y, are being used in these tunnels. However, according to previous plans, special autonomous vehicles designed specifically for this purpose are expected to operate through the tunnels in the future. And this “secret” transportation vehicle, intended for approximately 12 passengers, is believed to be precisely that.
