    It will never be $30,000 or less. He did the same thing with the Model 3.

    You really just can’t believe anything this guy says regarding his products.

      Good question.
      The Mars base should be started years ago according to what Musk claimed, and they should have manned flights to Mars by now. And all he has is half failed tests just to do one orbit around earth! 🤣🤣🤣

      For 8 years he has claimed Fully autonomous driving will be ready next year. He even claimed years ago, that a car picking you up and driving you across the country was something we can do today!

      Enron Musk is a conman, he is obviously a liar, and there are people who still believe him?!

        But it’s all the government’s fault for having regulations that stop him doing what he wants - he’d be on Mars by now if it wasn’t for the stupid government stopping him from poisoning a protected nature reserve and crashing rockets into people.

        Don’t they understand? It’s really important to get people to mars so there is a place for rich assholes to go when the environment on earth is completely trashed beyond repair

          Plan B secure survival on another planet.
          Why? Because:
          Plan A Is to make max profits, and don’t give a shit about the only planet that sustains human life.

    Oh. So “unveiling” doesn’t mean they have something. Just the “2 years” promise is repeated for the N’th time ;-)

      WTF? How can a CEO walk from responsibility by claiming puffery? Which is the same as admitting to lying!
      In civilized countries CEO is a position of responsibility, you can’t just talk up stock or sales with false claims. The requirements for a CEO are higher than usual, exactly because everything they say can have a financial impact.
      I’m pretty sure that judgement is not according to normal practices. It’s disgusting they let that pedo walk again and again.

    Given Tesla’s usual build quality I feel like it’s pretty much inevitable that there are going to be an enormous amount of skull and limb injuries from those gullwing doors.

      If it works. Don’t Teslas still have problems in his stupidass underground Vegas loop? And that’s pretty much as ideal driving conditions as you can get.

      Looks more like the number of cars will stay the same-ish, but now there won’t be a taxi driver making a living of it.

        Wrong. The problem right now is low utilisation of cars. Most cars just sit around 90-95% of the day. A robotaxi would have much higher utilisation, therefore fewer cars are needed overall.

            Are you familiar with the concept of a taxi? Do you really think a taxi does not make more trips per day than a privately owned car?

              I think that this depends heavily on the success of that enterprise.

              I am pretty sure that they start (when / if they start) with a very high number of vehicles in a city.
