  1. Robot taxis need autonomous driving level 5, and Tesla only had level 2 in the past. So how should their robot taxis be working?
    You don’t magically reach autonomous driving level 5 over night.

    Autopilot prevents cars from crashing into people and can be updated if there is an error, but if a human driving a car makes an error and crashes into a person, can it be corrected?

    within a short period of time, the robot will make people unemployed, long-term robot working company to the government, the people will go to the government to get CSSA, disguised robots to support the public

    Robots can help humans to do a lot of work, the news often said that doctors make patients die, and it takes 5 years or more to train doctors, nannies often steal and abuse children, site workers often have accidents, often drunk driving to the death of passers-by, robots can stop the above county problems

    I think he is going to lie. The lie would fall deep into fraud claims.
    Which is why so many executives are calling quit to save themselves.

    The RoboCab reveal will be very showy and very short on details, almost like some Hollywood production, but don’t worry “it will start rolling off the production lines in 2026!”

    Stock pops 20%

    Wouldn’t it be great if it went like in Robocop and a taxi goes berserk and security has to shoot it up in front of the press

  7. I find it odd no one in this thread read the article to see that they left for another Elon owned company; Space X. But I guess that doesn’t fit your narratives of “ElOn BaD”.

    I think the guy is trash too but at least trash him honestly. Otherwise you’re just as bad as him.

    SEC should get their shit together and put this charlatan in Gitmo where he fucking belongs

  9. How much do you wanna bet that it’s either just going to be the shell of a car (no internals / can’t drive, autonomously or not), or it’s going to just be the internals of a model 3 in a prototype shell, and they are going to fake it driving autonomously?

  10. More lies, additional years on the timeline and maybe a vaporware demo unit if we’re lucky. Musk is an idiot trying to bump up his stock price.

  11. Elon has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. Tesla obviously has (had?) very clever engineers, and instead of improving their platform to make better cars, it is squandered for pet projects like the stupid Cybertruck.

    Where is the super compact? The van? Elon thinks he’s Ferruccio Lamborghini.

    Robotaxi: I’ve identified a potential hazard ahead, please upgrade your account to ‘hazard avoidance’ on the terminal if you wish to avoid.

  13. We’ve seen this pattern before. Tesla needs to unveil the next big product so they can bump the stock price and take deposits on that to fund the last product they showed off and don’t have the money to finish.

    This unveil will fund the roadster, the roadster funded the “truck”, etc, etc.
