Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're as obsessed with Tesla as I am, you've probably been wondering about the future of the Cybertruck lineup. Will we see a smaller version or even a Cyber SUV? Recent comments from Tesla's chief designer, Franz von Holzhausen, have sparked some excitement. Let's dive into what he said and what it could mean for Tesla's roadmap.
In a recent Q&A, Franz was asked directly: "Would you ever consider making a smaller version of the Cybertruck or even an SUV Cybertruck-type thing? Something smaller that might have more volume potentially."
His response? "Those are definitely all things that we've considered. I think, you know, wait and see is probably maybe the best way." He added that Tesla is working on "so many really innovative and fun and great things" for the future, but couldn't share details just yet.
It's that classic Tesla tease – enough to get us hyped without spilling the beans. We've already seen hints in Tesla's Master Plan videos, where various designs were showcased. It's clear they're experimenting, but the big question is: what's next?
The Cybertruck is an absolute beast – innovative, tough, and packed with features. But let's be real: not everyone needs (or wants) something that massive. A smaller Cybertruck could appeal to a broader audience, especially if it's more affordable. Remember, Tesla recently killed off the long-range rear-wheel-drive version, possibly to streamline for more budget-friendly options down the line.
On the flip side, going bigger might not be the move. Look at competitors like the Lucid Gravity, priced in the $100,000 to $150,000 range. It's a premium SUV, but inventory is piling up because not everyone is ready to drop that kind of cash. Tesla knows value is key – that's why the Model Y is flying off the shelves. It's affordable, spacious, and hits that sweet spot below the average U.S. vehicle price. For families, it's often the best bang for your buck.
If Tesla launches a Cyber SUV or compact truck, pricing will be crucial. Aim too high, and it could sit like the Gravity. Get it right, and it could dominate the market.
Personally, I'd be all over a Cyber SUV or a downsized Cybertruck. Something more maneuverable for city driving, with that signature Cyber styling, could be a game-changer. It might even outsell the Model Y if priced competitively. But what do you think? Have you bought a Tesla recently, or are you in the market? Would a smaller Cybertruck sway you, or are you holding out for something bigger? Drop your thoughts in the comments below – I love hearing from you!
Speaking of Tesla ownership, did you know your new ride comes with zero accessories? Not even a phone mount! But don't stress – I've got recommendations from my go-to partner, Jowua.
Here are a few must-haves:
Jowua's gear is top-notch – I use it all myself. They've also got cool extras like a wireless game controller that fits in the glovebox, a portable air compressor for road trips, and even an electric scooter to zip around superchargers.

Tesla's future looks electric (pun intended) with potential for a smaller Cybertruck or Cyber SUV. While Franz's "wait and see" leaves us hanging, it's exciting to think about what's coming. Stay tuned for more updates, and let me know your predictions. Until next time, drive safe!
