Don't forget that model 3 and Y are also "robotaxi" so for bigger trips you just cold get a model 3 or Y. But for city is the cybercab
Or cybertruck
Nothing's a robotaxi yet as supervision is required and regulatory approval could take years
Model 3 on a long trip is uncomfortable. Y I think might be better (source: passengers who ride in my Chevy Bolt)
@@jamespaul2587obviously bruh
@@zuazaacybertruck for city? Transportation for only passengers why such a large vehicle? What for?
I don't want private public transport. I want public transport. Taxi's have always sucked these could make up last mile to connect people to public transport. But there are probably better solutions for that.
Don't worry. You don't have it now, even though "you" were supposed to have it at least 4 years ago "You" won't have it for at least 4-5 years.
It will never happen in the US now that we've imported multiple feral underclasses. Even the people who loudly agree with you won't actually subject themselves to that.
I use public transport everyday, and the key point is to have not just buses but many options : walking on large sidewalks, bikes on secured bake lanes, electric buses, trolley buses, tramways, metros, trains, and (robot) taxis. When I take the train with a suitcase, or when my 85 years mother has to go somewhere in the city, a (robot) taxi makes quite more sense than a bus or a bicycle.
Public transport in the middle of a pandemic is so fun...
public transport sucks major ass and I live in the country with the best public transport (Switzerland), it's expensive as hell, it doesn't get me to my exact destination (like a car) and good luck carrying your weekly groceries on foot between bus and train stations. You might just be a bigger moron than Musk and Trump if you think current public transport is better than private auto.
Hear me out, give the robotaxi a retractable steering wheel, a charge port with 100kW charging and this thing will be a giant success. It looks to be VERY efficient but ... ummm ... guess what ... people want to DRIVE their cars lol
Well, I don't. And I hate driving. Driving sucks. Especially in big cities from a red light to a red light. And it's also dangerous. You're literally sitting in a 3 tonns metal box that can easily kill a person if you make any mistake. I'd rather enjoy a youtube video or a book instead of driving it.
They will have to add a charge port for the 25k car.
Or just buy a induction charger to install on the floor of your garage or driveway.
@@didierpuzenat7280and supercharging??
@@theproffessional9 Not sure such robot taxis are designed to make 3+ hours trips. In 10 years maybe, and then maybe one lane of all highways will include induction coils, at least when it is convenient or when more power is needed. But sure, you can always add functionalities, but then the vehicle costs more.
@@didierpuzenat728030k price quoted isn't cheap for such a small car and actual price will be higher
This would have been the £25k model 2 if they hadn't gone down the autonomous taxi route... I would have preferred a driveable version of this than what they decided to go with.
The Aptera with the smaller battery is supposed to cost 25 k$, just buy one.
@@didierpuzenat7280Aptera has ongoing delays also, still years away from volume production with much higher price than promised
@@didierpuzenat7280 the range sucks there
Yeah but where is the roadster?
Elon Musk reiterates that the ‘forever coming next’ next-gen Tesla Roadster will go into production in 2025. So too early to be asking again at this point. But then I expect it to arrive when it makes sense for Tesla.
or 100% autonomous FSD and driverless Teslas. Oh yeah, that's now called 100% supervised FSD and you pay $8k to supervise a computer driving your car. I don't know what his drug of choice is, but he needs to tone it down.
@@danharold3087 What? Are the guys that put down 50k or paid for it outride getting interest on money Musk has been using?
@@craighermle7727 You have a bad case of ELON BAD there craig. The people who put $50K down and did not want to wait for the car got the money back. Tesla will refund on request.
As for people paying to help develop FSD some will proudly tell their grandchildren how they help to develop cars that drive themselves. People with the engineering or inventor gene love it.
Different strokes for different folks.
nope. Terms and conditions specifically stated no interest was being paid. Founders Series required full payment within 10 days of preorders
Elon says prototypes are easy. Cybercab is a prototype.
All twenty of them. That's quite a few.
I agree homie...
We'll see.
@@TecnamTwin And none will be near anything approaching production for at least 2 Elon years. So you can come up with your own timeline.
@@TecnamTwin remote controlled by men in black with cellphone in their hands
@@craighermle7727 Sure, as all the Teslas using FSD on the road, an army of people working in secret in India for Tesla ! It seams a quite reasonable hypothesis 🙄.
Under 30k for a robotaxi. A car that you can use as long as you need then it can go out and earn you money. Also there are 100kw wireless chargers available today, adding charging pads to the existing superchargers especially version 4 will be quite easy. They have been working on wireless charging for a while and will have allowed for this in all version 4 superchargers.
The answer to every question you ask: Everything you saw today was a movie prop. The cab, the van even the robots it was all theatre...
so... short the stock and you'll make a lot of money. if not, you're just running your mouth. put your money where your mouth is. dare you?
@@Jay-eb7ik ITS A MUST SHORT - all in move
@@salecousin5470 man of his word
@@Jay-eb7ikyou seen the market no one is buying musk smoke and mirrors act anymore
The cars were real and so was the bus. You don't make 21 prototypes without covering a lot of engineering and manufacturing groundwork. As for the self-driving piece, that will happen next year and evidence of it is already available to drive today in any Tesla running the latest FSD. Optimus was just theater though. But I can forgive that since they now have competition copying them.
Why aren't more people asking this - were ANY of the Cybercab and Optimus demos last night actually autonomous using FSD, or were they preprogrammed and remote operated respectively? The clips of Optimus at the bar clearly seemed like human operation
I mentioned in the video the bots were human controlled
Everything was pre-programmed, pre-mapped and staged in closed controlled environment. It was all only a fake show for shareholders
@@MrRandomguyTomNd😂 that didn’t even work stock is dropping by 6.8 this morning 😂 not a good start
All i was seeing here is a lot of lost jobs in the near future, mine included.
Robovan looks like I robot when the robots came out of those tunnels
Cybercab is kind of a VW XL1/Mercedes Vision EQXX/BMW i3 (with the skinny wheels) combo, really like it! Looks really optimised for the taxi use case.
The i3 had 175/55 R20 so a bit narrower but pretty similar!
The smart thing with a bus is that many people can travel in the same vehicle. That means less traffic on the streets. Sounds simple when you hear it but it sure takes s genius to figure it out. Elon is a super hero!
That's bait☝lol
You think someone would have invented a bus before now.
I’d buy the Cybercab immediately for 35k if it had a steering wheel
So just buy a model 3. Or wait for the so called "model 2" ie provably a low cost model 3 since it makes no sense for Tesla to develop and produce a new vehicle while they can produce an entry level model 3 for almost the same price.
@@didierpuzenat7280 I own a Model 3
35k is too expensive for a small 2 seat vehicle with no chargeport and limited range
As a person that dont even own any Tesla shares i am now in the process to buy some Tesla shares.
30K for a RoboTaxi, that Optimus robot, that small mini van buss thingy.
Everything looking good and futuristic.
Actual production will be many years away
For some reason the Tesla shares are dropping pre market opening. You are in luck
For some reason? Don’t buy this Tesla pump crap it’s going to tank by next quarter
They promised Cybertruck for 45k with 500 miles of range in 2019. When it's release, it's twice as expensing and has less range and released only in 2024.
Oh my god! Elon just invented the BUS! He is a genius. 20 passengers!? How is it even possible?
I bet in the future Elon will invent a bus that can take 25 passengers. Who knows....
Wtf are you talking about?
A bus that doesn't require a driver will save a lot of money.
@@caldodgeimagine certain demographics in those cars having a snack down 😭😭😭
I like how the sidewalls on the tires are also painted to give the impression of larger wheels. Good design trick.
Maybe the wireless induction charging pad comes included with the Robotaxi and it connects to the NACS cable at any Supercharger? No need to deploy a whole new induction pad network for retail customers?
Kinda like how I can buy a USB-C wireless charging pad for my phone and use it with my existing USB-C charger base I already own.
The Robotaxi reminds me of a 2 door coupe Model Y with Cybertruck DNA.
So every time I need to charge I have to get out of the car, grab a charge mat, line it up, then tell the taxi to back over it? Sounds… fun
The robotaxi / model 2 is UGLY. Moving to BYD
No specs at all. No information about sensors. Is that stainless steel? Really, Tesla is many many years from making any of the toys shown tonight.
The "sensors" are just cameras. And who cares the size of the battery 2 or 3 years before production ? Idem for the material, steel, aluminium, plastic, who cares ? It was about autonomy not about the cars. Do you ask the driver the size if the battery when you ride a taxi ? Or the resolution of rear camera ?
Exactly, this was a lame display on a fully mapped lot
Elon has invented the BUS! He is definitely the smartest genius on the planet!
Who else could invent a bus???
You, maybe? You sound like a really smart guy...
“Oh wow Henry Ford created the car!”
No he didn’t. He created a product previously seen as unobtainable by the masses and solved volume production and cost. Many people don’t realize that iterations also count as revolutionary. Will the product succeed, that’s up to the future to decide. Can’t say Tesla will fail at everything tried, considering they achieved many things not seen as feasible.
As a Tesvestor since summer 2023, this was a stinking dud of an event. Cant wait to get out of this stock at the next giga volatile spike to $299
Free money if you short it
@@sociolocomtsac
All my money is invested, so no.
First time watcher. I regularly follow more than a half dozen Tesla bloggers but hadn't seen yours before today. Good information in general and you raise some good questions. You draw some conclusions that don't make sense to me but I wish you well..
Finally a fully electric van in the USA that will hold more than 6 people
Elon talked multiple times why solar roof is usless for compact EV's - the area is so small it would generate only a few kilometers of range daily exposed to direct summer sun. For big vehicles, like buses and even planes, it could potentially make sense. For cars - not really.
Aptera does well with solar though
@@Chamieiniibet It does up to 40 miles of recharging range on a sunny day, with nearly a scooter sized chasie, and probably less than half the weight, hardly any storage space, so not really comparable to a cybercab.
Aptera has 32 cubic feet of storage space and is wider than a cybertruck. Its honestly quite similar to the CyberCab
@@TailosiveEVTruth be told I haven't really read the specs for Aptera, but when I saw the videos and images to me it looked more like an enclosed tricycle scooter.
Nope. Far more capable with 400 miles of range, fast charging and solar charging
What got me from the presentation was where Elon said at time frame 1:06:40 “The Model 3 and Y’s and S and X we make today will be capable Full Autonomy unsupervised.” He then added almost like a side thought the CyberTruck.
That kind of indicates that new cars are likely getting AI 5, but we won’t be able to tell the difference of AI5 cars versus AI4 cars.
If Tesla make the cybercab for sale w/ steering wheel, it will sure be selling like a hot hot hot cake
2 seaters with ample trunk room ... That is a big WOW
*This is NEVER coming out* 😂
They said that about every tesla car Tesla roadster, model x, model s, I remember guys like you saying the cyber truck will never be built now it's this and roadster 2.
I liked the event! The designs are nice! I was disappointed, though, only because the cybercab isn't coming next year. It is going to be 2-3 years before we see it in mass production. Guess the M3 and MY will have to serve as the robotaxis until the dedicated model comes out. Unsupervised FSD coming next year sounds good though!
Could be here in a year and a half.
I like the design of both the taxi and the van… kind of a 80s sci-fi retro vibe.
The van/bus is right from the Art Deco Era- some designer knows his Schools!
Yes, Aptera panels and Tesla join forces... I think that the cab would know where you want to go and the system would not give you a vehicle that would need to be recharged en route. IMO, like the robots someone's in the backroom with an X Box controller driving the cabs. oh and the van is really doing to need more windows. People like to see where they may be going.
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
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable.
Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
information can be a big hurdle. I've been
making more than $100k passively by just
investing through an advisor, and I don't have
to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.
nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier. How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
Even if the car is parked the doors don't matter because people could summon the car before getting in or be dropped off before the car parks itself.
I both hope and suspect the "Model 2" is a just a cybercab modified for human use ie added a wheel, pedals, mirrors, and hopefully chargeport. As weird as it might be for no chargepoint planned I AM glad that Tesla is finally leading the charge on bringing inductive charging to the market. However, I do agree with you that they should at least offer a solar option. These seem well suited to that.
The cybertruck design didn’t dramatically change. The specs aren’t what they promised, but the design is pretty much what they unveiled. No 6 seats and some small things were different, but overall it looks the same.
I was very impressed of it all - the CyberTaxi design & features, the cybervan design and the Optimus development progress.
Timeline should be very good assuming we will not experience another Covid world disruption period
Elon bot detected
@@LogicbyDesignIf you didn't understand Tesla so far then look at SpaceX and learn how to make huge dreams come true
Amazing event. I wasnt expecting to see yhe actual cab and they even have a van
I have a good feeling these vehicles won’t travel and operate far outside of major cities. I’ll keep driving my car myself thank you very much! Also, they do need NACS. Every EV needs NACS!
The surface area isn't enough to provide meaningful charge. If you could get 1 square meter of solar panels on there, you could get like 200 watts of charging power, and that's generous. With that much power would take 10 hours to get 2kWh of charge.
Would be more like 400-500 watts but even 2kWh per day would be over 5K free miles per year
On past performance, this should be ready in 2030.
Sounds about right, if regulatory approval is received by then, which many people don't even realize as a barrier
2030 is too optimistic.
To answer your question at 8:57 about the extra processing and distributed compute: This isn't the first time Elon mentioned using the car's computer for extra processing as a way to earn money for the owner. He's been mentioning it for at least the past 18 months or so on multiple occasions. The idea is that while the car is sitting in your garage charging and having access to high speed Wi-Fi for example, its processor could be "rented out" by third parties or xAI for example to do some processing if you opt in that program. I'd imagine it would be a revenue share type of model.
I remember on the earnings calls. I just thought there was no point in bringing up at this event. Felt very out of place
@@TailosiveEV Fair point. I don't know, maybe it's just me but Elon seem a bit tired last night. Less energetic than I've seen him at other product launches anyway. It also seemed as thought he skipped a bunch of stuff they initially planned talking about. I wonder if they had a strict deadline of be done by X time with the event and due to the roughly 45 minute delay due to the medical emergency, he might not have bothered mentioning some of the stuff, or maybe it threw him off a little. You rightfully pointed out that there was a lot more info on the slides after all. So maybe Elon decided to cut some stuff out of the presentation to make sure people still had the time to get the rides in. Just speculating...
Like Google, probably going to introduce it to cities its most suited for to make use of the ones they do make.
Even if it was 100% ready for all cities, they'd still need to do it that way for an effective taxi service.
I really don't think this is a product to scale, its a 20 vehicle showcase. Cabs designed for cities (see London Cabs) are designed for 1-5 passengers and that's with a driver. Inductive charging is a logistical nightmare and also very hard to make efficient beyond 20 KW/h. Why also does it need to be streamlined its not going far. Why not build up? The 'Van' concept is also mad, it will never get approval as shown.
Wouldn’t be too hard to add an inductive charging plate in every supercharging space. But depends how fast it charges… don’t want to use a supercharger space if it’s only charging via induction slowly so has to sit there for an hour.
I guess one of the reasons no charging port is it’s hard to automatically plugin and unplug… however that seem to be easy to change that design decision… and the best way is to replace batteries similar to how Chinese EVs are doing… 5 mins to full charge
From my understanding Glass-roof on the cybertaxi (or any car) adds more complexity in the production and the weight goes up too. Solar-roof at the current moment in time makes little sense, similar reasons: cost, complexity.
The van looks like the robot transport from the iRobot movie.
The Robovan makes me think of the GMC Futurliner, also a cool large vehicle.
And your idea that kind of "the new model tanks the sales of the former model" is a problem for a company? A company's newest model tanking the sales of their former model happens kind of a lot. That's why older models are discontinued in production as soon as the new model hits the stores
Dont there's already Waymo iPace running around
Tesla can use M3 and MY for long distances, and for the inductive charging stations, Tesla can have 4-8 stations for each corner of each city
The above might solve the charging and cost of contructing the charging stations
I’m not even a tall person and I find M3 back seats uncomfortable.
@@battery_wattage not sure about M3, but it is quite comfortable for MY
@@JD-kk6cl MY is definitely something I could sit for hours as a backseat passenger.
Warner Bros movie props presentation 😂😂😂 reality we won't see anything 2030.
Short pre-programmed ride on pre-mapped road in controlled and closed environment. Wow, amazing success 🎉😂
I like the headlights on the cybercab.
Theatre as usual.
You would never run out of battery in a Robo taxi because the software would know how long your trip is and just wouldn’t pick you up if it didn’t have the battery for it it would go in charge itself and another one with more battery would come and pick you up
So I gotta move all my gear every time the car gets low?
The fact you don’t understand the extra processing power statement is surprising. Right now data center compute is creating a power problem. A car with a computer in it that stays parked at home can charge from 1-4 pm with cheep excess power from solar on the grid. Then use that electricity over the next 20 hours doing bitcoin mining and AI computing with a processor that was sitting doing nothing.
This is such an obvious feature I’m mad my current model Y doesn’t already do it.
It’s cause doing it all remotely isn’t that helpful to the companies that need it. Otherwise they’d be doing it now. Too much latency between vehicles opposed to having a big internal system
There will be a charging port in the cybercab. Problem is they treat this as a Sci fi project ( that nobody knows where it comes) not as a product ready in two years.
Man, no charge port.
Was gonna say the solution to their one sided problem would be repaint the lines so its in the middle of a parking spot but this sounds like someone high on themselves and expects nothing to go wrong when there is always issues, especially with rapid scaling.
Although, putting them at every stop light for every EV to use might make it desirable for the city and practical for the robotaxi.
Those robovans look like they might share some parts with the Semi. Maybe they'll also be produced in Nevada
The screens ?
Most taxi journeys involve one or two people, so a two seater is fine for most.
Most vehicle journeys period are 1-2 people. I’ve never had an issue with two seaters that’s why I want an Aptera so bad
@@TailosiveEV I don’t even need a car but the Aptera would be one of my first choices. The other being the Microlino.
And since prices are way below taxis, you can order several robot taxis if you want to move more people.
@@didierpuzenat7280price won't be much lower, especially with Tesla taking a cut
Different sized wheels are already the case on my 2024 model X. Back are 275 and front are 265
Yeah for performance I understand but the CyberCab isn’t meant to be fast
My first thought is if there is no “driving seat” why are the seats facing forwards? It is well known that rear facing seats are *much* safer in the case of a shunt (the majority of which in driven cars are front shunts) .
Elon could have done something revolutionary here.
Rear facing seats give motion sickness to some people.
If it was not evident before, Tesla just warp-drive/light-skipped into the future with the Cybercab, Roboban, and Optimus. The vision is for cities and municipalities to be autonomous through the entire product cycle (from vehicle movement, to passenger/goods transport, to charging, to maintenance).
Imagine a fleet of FedEX, UPS Robobans executing urban deliveries with Optimus as the on board delivery assistant (scans the package by looking at it, confirms delivery and DONE).
This cycle can be readily utilized on Earth, Mars or anywhere. The fact that these products can be designed, engineered, and executed in such a short timeframe is simply awe inspiring. The Roboban looks ready for the Las Vegas tunnel right now/as is imo 🤔.
Think of how many things might very well be become obsolete very quickly: school buses, parking lots, crosswalks, stop signs/signals, speed limit signs, etc. And with the Robotaxi/Cybercab, even the DMV will also be of little use 🤔.
Why does everyone speculate about price? These things are years down the road and no one has any idea what the cost will be. They will be produced and cost what they cost. Name me anything you think is a good value in the economy today? Lastly everyone of these conversations ends up talking about edge cases as if every product has to be absolutely 100% perfect from the start. If you know anything about Tesla they analyze what the requirement is and design to what will meet a majority of cases not all. If you don’t get started you will NEVER finish.
They’re still not delivering the base, single motor Cybertruck.
How long do you think Lambo" styled hinged doors will last on a commercial vehicle? That won't make it to production!
Even Lambo didn't try it on their "mass market" cars.
It's a gas assisted lift not much different from a rear liftgate.
Denial, not just a river😂
Rear wheels are bigger, obviously, so the cab is always going downhill. What a power saver that will be.
Impractical design... if they break down how will they be moved off the road or loaded on a flatbed, etc. Cool idea but so many obvious unknowns were not and have not been addressed to date.
So true what you said in the end of this video.. they can’t say much
14:15 Wait, soo do you think that will happen? The 25k compact car?
You showed the bench seat at 5:00 so it’s 3 seats not 2
The solar cells would get damaged by crazies in NY, CA and the other lawless states. So it would just be more pricey to maintain.
to mass users, there is no need to know the specs. the most important thing is cost per mile which has been indicated. dont need to give ideas to competitors on the specs
Golly, I wonder where that design of the robovan came from. Maybe a 50-60 train manufacturer that developed "streamline train"
The design is Art Deco [1920's]
Rotation of tires will be impossible, not just difficult with the staggered set up
We have no specs, as of yet sadly :
@JustLennyBenny yes, but staggered wheel size removes the ability to rotate tires for more even wear. This may be changed at production.
IMO Glass room is most benefitial for rear pasengers.
How exactly could they sell a human driven version of this next year for "25k" when this version that has stripped; the pedals, the steering wheel, the charge port, the mirrors, the rear seats, (the wipers?), and God knows what else, is projected at $30k, 2+ years from now??? Apart from the self closing doors, there's not a whole heck of a lot of "added" components in this compared to a human driven car, but there's an awful lot deleted.
No, the "low cost Tesla" is dead. This platform clearly isn't ready to be the foundation of that, and it does not look like they're making any serious progress on cutting the platform 3/Y costs.
Why does Elon say "robo-oven" and then present a stainless-steel-and-black-glass box with a door? 🤔
1:46 that was dark lol
i love your presentation dood.
Why assume tax credits will be available if and when the cab arrives?
I was referring to a version that would have steering and pedals
25mi expected trips, probably 100mi battery, quick charging via small size. Multiple cheap cars used.
It’s biggest downfall is the fact that it looks like a two seater it needs to be a four seater
the other models have this.... and 90% of uber rides are 1 or 2 seaters. please do your homework
The laser are the new LDR ?
@TailosiveEV After getting beat up with the CyberTruck specs from 2019 Tesla has to be shy about releasing goals on specs. Way to early to give goals which will be morphed to promises. Just recently they announced that they would be making a 4680 variant for the cyberCab.
Where'd they say that?

4 NEW Tesla Batteries REVEALED | Tesla LFP 4680 Battery!
info at 7:25
They said induction charging added. They didn’t say supercharging would not be supported.
You showed a picture of the 3 person bench seat. But kept saying 2 person vehicle
Making use of unused processors is a no brainer in today’s day and age.
You got very weird things wrong
There’s no bench seat. Superchargers require a port
Every statement you have must have a BUT. “I have money but ain’t good enough. I have friends but they’re far away..” kinda vibe.
If I owned Tesla stock, after last night, I'd be selling
Uber starts at $30. I'd rather pay $30 and not have to worry about a creepy driver. Just 1 to 1 vs. Uber, a robo taxi would easily pay for itself and be a good investment. 30k is less than you'd want to make as a driver without consideration for the old car. FSD being approved and working is what's needed. I'd buy 10 if this was available and reliable in my area. People act like Tesla wants to sell you a personal car. They want to sell a vending machine car for people who don't own a car.
Supercharging means this isn’t for personal use. So, unless the steering wheel version supports it, no one will want this self driving commuter car.
"Tesla is already having a hard enough time selling the Model 3 and Y as it is"
Bro, the Model Y was the best selling car IN THE WORLD in 2023 and on track for 2024. The Model 3 is not far behind it.
and they build more than they sold.
Sales will tank when tax credits end and cheaper EVs are produced at scale by other brands
No way these cars are going to sell under $30k if they become passive money machines.
More like $300k
If I was Elon I'd keep all these cars.
Wait..,.. don't gloss over regulatory approval. Musk doesn't have any FSD regulatory approval .... after 10 years. Yes, friends, you can buy once again a Robotessl for $30k, but forget about the old HW3 Model3s that were supposed to do that same thing, for what 65k hw3 with betacode and didn't and still doesn't The market is going to have a field day with this. Musk did everything I knew he would do: hype and present futures, and ignore the current products that are supposed to work A robotesla is going to be automatically cleaned? Really? I can think of one or two ways that you would need a scrub brush and extreme amounts of disinfectant. Looks like it was a great hype event if you didn't consider how much of the hyped product was supposed to be functional today.
Approval will come this is the future and western governments won’t want to fall behind China. Things like cleaning the vehicle I’m sure will be fleshed out and made efficient. You can always clean in manually if you buy one. For a fleet autonomous cleaning will be done. Cars are made with machines so cleaning one isn’t a big issue. I was amazed by the presentation and Tesla will be very successful with this especially the AI bots too
@@olivergroves2007regulatory approval will cone eventually, but many regions will take years and supervision will be required
This event pulls in the suckers while smart money is selling.
Or waiting for the bottom like this morning and then buying in. It always turns out to be a "sell the news" event. Every time
"Robobus" with accent on the 2nd syllable?
They just need to put a steering wheel, mirrors and a charge port on it, an sell it cheap as the electric equivalent of a Honda CR-X.
I'm simply not convinced by what they put on the We, Robot video, which was a mostly a club video type of footage meant to hold your attention until the molly kicks in, I guess.
The Robotaxi will need better robots to deal with real taxi customers. Imagine all the people at this party after they've had enough food, alcohol and, shall we say recreational pharmaceuticals. When I drove a taxi, a fifty dollar cleanup fee charged to the customer was not enough to deal with the mess and the loss of revenue. It's going to take a bit more than a robot arm with a vacuum cleaner. And those are relatively clean people. Quiet a few of my customers were...dirty. Some were skanky enough for me to have to roll down the windows for relatively clean air. People probably tried to have sex in the Robotaxis at this unveiling. So, yes, shepherd your fleet of Robotaxis, but don't forget to clean the condoms, lubricants and other things out as well.
The video also included a screen of legalese that probably boils down to this meaning effectively nothing.
Elon is right about one thing, that being that the future needs to look like the future. That is something, though, that people actually have a great amount of resistance to. Otherwise, antique stores would be of little use...
