Remember the Roadster from 2017 that should’ve already been here? That was 7 years ago. Other manufacturers have already caught up and Tesla no longer has the first-mover advantage.

Ironic how low-energy Elon was at that demo.

New electric car companies are building open source software, so owners and mechanics can work on cars. Tesla is an Old Legacy Company with locked software, to keep owners and mechanics out.

My son is 6 months old. He will grow up, live a full life, and die an old man before self driving cars are the norm.

You know why? After that reveal all the big investors are going to sell off stock in low amounts as fast as possible to cash out while the bag holders rush in thinking they are buying the dip.

It was like watching a 10 year old trying to improvise a science project he forgot about on the spot…spouting weirdness and bs.

Would’ve meant something if they had used the percentage value of market cap, not the dollar value. Nvidia dropped $600B on nothing just a couple of months ago. $60B means different things to different companies.

Meanwhile Waymo is actively in service in Phoenix, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Expanding to Austin by the end of the year, and Atlanta early next year.
I’ve ridden several times in LA, it’s excellent. Musk Rat is late to the party.

Because it’s literally the same reveal and promise he made from back in 2019.
“A $30k car that turns into a taxi to make you money, coming next year” was the Model 3 and Model Y.
He updated the concept design, but investors have been waiting 5 years for the same product announcement, AND now there’s competitors like Waymo (Google), Zoox (Amazon), and Cruise (GM) already leapfrogging them in the market.

All this crap and they could be selling model 2s like it’s going out of style. What a waste of development resources.

Quelle surprise.

Also, the Optimus robots at the event were remotely operated and not fully autonomous.

Sometimes these articles are overreacting (stock market will be down 3% and there’s an article about a specific stock being down 4, etc).
But Elon just revealed their long term roadmap and the stock dropped 9% when both DJIA and S&P500 were up almost 1%.
This one is a legit translation of investors believing a little bit less in Tesla

I guess no one is impressed by the “concept of a plan” of a RoboTaxi

After all these years, they realize now that it was all a scam?

It’s funny seeing all the fanboy/astroturf Reddit posts and reading the comments being generally negative. Major vibe shift from Mr wholesome chungus that Elon would have gotten just a few years ago

Why didn’t they make a Model T truck? Probably not an original post but the idea just struck me. A basic truck not a cyber truck, w the same wheel base etc as existing models… And a cheap car like this taxi instead of the cyber….

On his last call with investors he was telling them that he was going to sell 8 billion robots minimum, or one robot for every person on Earth. As one commenter put it, “What is your anticipated market for this product, Mr. Musk?” “Everyone. Next question.”

One of many “value drops” to come as people continue to catch on that Tesla as a company has a ton of unaddressed issues and their CEO has many (also unaddressed) mental health and morality problems.

Investors wanted to hear about the Model 2 Unibody/single casting with robotaxi on top, not robotaxi with tesla robot. Musk has failed to deliver on cheap EVs other companies are now making, Musk has failed to make his quotas of Tesla Semis which other companies are now making, and he has failed to deliver the Tesla Amazon van. He’s blowing it, he needs new products people can buy and use now, not a stupid robot that can’t even hold a gun.

I re-watched the event with a friend who wanted to see it. Only by that time, I knew that the “autonomous” robots were basically fake.
Strip out the fake dancing robots, and the whole thing is about 10 minutes long. And this was their big reveal – the thing the entire company is now predicated upon. I think Musk is just desperate to get his $56 Billion and get the hell out of there, with Trump guarding his back as he exits.
