“We’re going to make this, and it’s going to look like that,” said Musk on Thursday night as the Robovan rolled towards center stage. That’s about as much as Musk was willing to say, and we’re not even sure that much is true. […]
The Robovan has a retro-futuristic look – somewhere between a bus from The Jetsons and a toaster from the 1950s.
