Tesla has built sedans, crossovers, a luxury SUV, and even a stainless-steel pickup—but there’s one key vehicle missing from its lineup: a full-size SUV. And it’s the most requested model that fans say Tesla should build next.
While Tesla has never officially confirmed plans to enter the full-size SUV market, loyal customers are loudly pushing for it. From viral tweets to design mockups, the message is clear: it’s time for a CyberSUV—a truly large, three-row family hauler that combines space, range, and practicality.
Why a Full-Size SUV Makes Sense for Tesla
Tesla’s current SUV offering, the Model X, is sleek and packed with tech, but it’s not the roomy family vehicle many buyers want. It’s more of a luxury crossover with quirky falcon-wing doors, limited cargo room, and a cramped third row that’s more of an afterthought than a feature.
Meanwhile, gas-powered giants like the Chevrolet Tahoe (105,756 units sold in 2024), GMC Yukon, and Ford Expedition dominate this segment. Even newer EVs like the Kia EV9, Rivian R1S, and Hummer SUV EV are stepping in to meet the demand Tesla is currently ignoring.
“Not Everyone Wants Gimmicks — Just Space”
Many Tesla fans feel that the company has over-designed some vehicles for the wrong segment.
“Not an undersized egg-shaped one with a 3rd row that can only fit contortionists, and design-limiting gimmicks like falcon wing doors…” – @WxGuesserNole on X
Families want space. They want comfort. They want a legitimate, full-size SUV that can handle five kids and their gear on a road trip — not just two toddlers and a yoga mat.
The Model X Isn’t the Answer
Even Elon Musk has said that the Model S and X are built for “sentimental reasons.” Sales for the X are Tesla’s lowest among the mainline vehicles. Despite receiving a refresh, it doesn’t compete well in size or interior layout compared to traditional full-size SUVs.
While it looks futuristic and drives like a dream, it’s simply not a true 7–8 passenger vehicle. The third row is tight, cargo space is compromised, and for many customers—it’s just not what they’re looking for.
Could a CyberSUV Be Next?
Fans are already imagining what a Tesla full-size SUV could look like — and many believe the Cybertruck platform would be a perfect base.
“No question… we need a full-size SUV built on the Cybertruck’s platform.” – @Harlan on X
Another Tesla fan @Timothyz while sharing a mockup said: “Cybertruck AWD drivetrain, but this as rough form.”
This, they should build this.

And it’s not just fantasy. Tesla has used the Cybertruck aesthetic in concepts like the upcoming Cybercab, as shown in their Q4 2024 Shareholder Deck.
But Tesla has also said it will likely abandon the Cybertruck’s stainless steel exoskeleton in future models — which means if a CyberSUV is coming, it may only look slightly like its pickup sibling.
Why Tesla Might Build It (Eventually)
There’s a massive market waiting — and Tesla knows how to dominate segments once it enters. Just like the Model Y quickly became the world’s best-selling EV crossover, a Tesla full-size SUV could:
- Take on family buyers currently leaning toward gas vehicles
- Disrupt large SUV offerings from Ford, GM, and Toyota
- Add serious volume to Tesla’s long-term vehicle goals
With U.S. families wanting all-electric alternatives for road trips and school runs, Tesla could have a clear path to success — if it chooses to build one.
What Would a Tesla Full-Size SUV Need?
If Tesla does develop a CyberSUV or equivalent, fans are expecting:
- Three adult-friendly rows of seating
- Massive cargo space (comparable to the Yukon or Expedition)
- All-wheel drive with Cybertruck-level off-road options
- Range of 350+ miles on a single charge
- Price between $70,000–$100,000, depending on trims
It wouldn’t need gimmicks. Just great engineering, smart storage, and comfort.
