Does no one remember that Musk said the Model 3 would be a robotaxi in 2018?

[SaffaInNewZealand]

You all know buses already exist right?

I think Homer Simpson must be his lead design engineer, his last two cars are the ugliest things on the market.

[Kranskinator]

That's right, he says a lot of "things"

Event was so unprofessional, Musk didn't bother to provide details, he just kept making up dates out of thin air. He saids Fsd will be ready by next year just like he has predicted for the last 7 years. He's saids everyone will buy a robot for 20, 000 to 30, 000 dollars showing just how out of touch he is. Most people do not have 30, 000 dollars just laying around to give to him for a barely functional robot. He shows a prototype car that was designed just for this event and will most likely never go into production. People are not buying the hype anymore they want to see implementation.

1 question? Who insures robotaxi Tesla?

[PatrickBateman-tx]

Saw this already- it was in the Woody Allen movie Sleeper.

[MrChiangching]

They've not "devotees" they are cultists.

I have already seen the future. I sat on a Waymo driverless car on real-world public roads for 25 mins. It was freaking awesome. So smooth and comfortable, and the app was super easy to use. Why do we have to get excited on closed private roads with no traffic disruption at all and such short distance too. No details whatsoever how the company will manage the fleet of robotaxi and how to charge them exactly. It was only talk and a talk only about wireless charging, but never showed if it actually worked. How long would the wireless charging take, etc. The lack of details scares me as an early investor of the company. The robots are only teleoperated. OMG. Why do people easily get excited about it is beyond me.

[zomblog]

maybe release an actual truck and not a $100k tonka toy before you do anything else

[Paramart]

Tesla is overdue for a -90% correction to make the stock price match the actual value of the company.

[Cms-rlwo]

Man, almost like anyone with a tiny sense of logic would not put money into a 2 DOOR, 2 SEAT TAXI!!!

[cmnhl]

that brother seems a bit upset for some reason.

[gregknipe]

Elon is dull and hard headed and this stuff is just crap.

[ChrisCoombes]

If Elon left tomorrow would the stock rise or fall?

[RashelYeva]

!!!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated

[changeric]

People need to be able to read between the lines, have more imagination and not spoon-fed everything.

RoboTaxi Rideshare Licensing between $200 - $500/monthly...

Tesla celebrating halloween early with a robot costume....that is someone dressed as a robot, gave him a head nod at the end

We are light years away from this driverless nonsense, but good luck to the fool who will die first.
