Well, I admit Tesla's truck is closer than I thought. But it can't hold
full sheets - too short (I don't know the width). And, if Tesla were to
extend the bed, the vehicle would get crazy long. The advantage of the
minivan is I take the seats out when I haul stuff. So, it becomes a
two-seater with an 8' interior bed. And I can still find parking in the
city :) Perhaps Tesla will make a minivan on the same skateboard.
Of course, the CyberTruck is not in production and is "a work in
progress". I think Bruce has recently posted some stuff about a
proposal to make the front load area bulkhead fold into the cabin area.
I believe that would make possible full sheets in the expanded load area
as well as a climate controlled sleeping area. Anyway, that's my
recollection.
There are several commercial ICE vans on the market which are pretty
close in function to the old-style minivan. For example, the Ram
ProMaster City (28 MPG highway)
https://www.caranddriver.com/ram/promaster-city
which also has an option for a 2nd row of seats, though I don't know if
they'r removable. If this becomes available as an EV it might fill my
niche very well.
History has told us it is a very big mistake to expect an ICE
manufacturer to fulfill any needs of the EV community.
