These comments quickly ignited the imagination of their followers on social media, with many interpreting the remarks as a subtle announcement of a pregnancy.
Here it is – the biggest, newest Škoda electric car Peaq. Seven seats. The whole idea for a big family.
Fans flooded the comments section with congratulations and questions, with one user humorously suggesting they "fill all the seats" and "a baby and four grandparents."

For a long trip, as the lady said, it will be very comfortable with a big family. We can't wait to try it.
