Nowadays, everyone talks about Tesla like it's some sort of alien coming from a distant galaxy to teach humans how to eliminate their fossil-fuel dependence. Slowly but steadily, more of us have started to listen.
The American EV and sustainable energy company has had a full year in 2023 with the initial launch of the refreshed Tesla Model 3 'Highland' in places like China or Europe, plus the start of deliveries at home of the highly anticipated Cybertruck EV full-size pickup that's designed to compete with the Ford F-150 Lightning, among others. Then, the first month of 2024 wasn't too shabby, either.
For starters, Tesla also brought the updated Model 3 to America, and then we quickly found out that according to the latest estimates, its best-selling Model Y crossover is also the top-delivered nameplate worldwide. With those significant thresholds in mind, what comes next?
Obviously, the most logical conclusion would be that Tesla is hard at work to upgrade the Model Y with the same goodies seen on the Model 3 Highland. But that's only in the real world. Meanwhile, across the imaginative realm of digital car content creators, sometimes fueled by the rumor mill, there are all sorts of wild theories.
For example, some people think that Tesla could even bring a minivan to the market to spark the resurrection of the dying segment. Others want something smaller, more compact, and a lot cheaper from the automaker – like the $25k Tesla Model 2 from Musk's prophecies. However, there's also one pixel master that would love to bring back our attention to the bonkers 1,020-hp Tesla Model S Plaid.
Jim, the virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, loves messing around with all things CGI from GM and Ford; he rarely derails into EVs. So, after presenting us with projects like a GMC Jimmy ATX4 HD two-door SUV, a proper Ford Crown Victoria revival, or a Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder, now it is time to witness the digital birth of an efficient yet fast Tesla Model S Plaid Wagon.
This isn't your regular grocery getter that a grandma would drive – unless she wanted to be sustainable and live life a quarter of a mile at a time, as a well-known action franchise character would say. With dragstrip times that make supercars weep and a trunk so big even your mother-in-law's vacation luggage would fit, this could be the perfect EV – albeit only if it becomes a little more than a fantasy.
Unfortunately, we don't think Tesla intends ever to build a station wagon, even if they're still fashionable in places like Europe. Also, if you're into ICE-powered vehicles rather than EVs, the author also imagined the refreshed 2025 Ford Explorer as a family station wagon. So, which one is cooler?
