For true believers who hear Musk talk but have paid little or no attention to Tesla’s actual progress with autonomous driving technology, new car development, production ramping, or robotics, the event will have seemed like something of a success.
Fucking lol
Please state the nature of the transportational emergency.
If it didn’t have Robert Picardos voice, I do not want
That’s the reason why Elon wants to fly to Mars, to get a working Johnny cab instead of his
crapcab. Now it makes all sense.
The man can’t release an affordable electric car, despite it being on his roadmap for over a decade. Cunt isn’t releasing an affordable taxi lol
Honestly, taxis don’t need to be cheap, they need to be reliable. I’m sure a taxi company would be happy to spend $100k if it meant minimal maintenance and far less staff, since it would pay for itself pretty quickly.
The bigger question is, does it work? I’m guessing the answer to that is… no.
The more I think about the 2 seater taxi that they showed off at this event, the more I think that was originally one of the prototypes for the affordable car.
Oh look con man trying to sell broken promises and cheap parlor tricks!
Who would win. A cyberpunk looking “$30k” robotaxi or one speed bump/pot hole
As long as it’s not a water poodle…
I took a Waymo robotaxi in San Francisco a couple weeks ago. It was easy to use and I felt very safe; generally they drive like your granny. My second ride we ended up briefly stopped behind someone trying to do a left turn in an unexpected spot, and the car wavered left and right for a moment as it tried to decide what to do, not unlike human drivers. Given Tesla’s not so great record on full self driving, I think given the choice I would probably stick with Waymo.
Of they end up releasing full self driving taxis before the Tesla’s sold with fsd are done I can imagine people that bought fsd will take issue.
Also their stock price did not like the announcement.
