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.
Oh look con man trying to sell broken promises and cheap parlor tricks!
Please state the nature of the transportational emergency.
If it didn’t have Robert Picardos voice, I do not want
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
As far as I understood, the robot taxis may start production by 2026 or 2027. Shouldn’t we live all on Mars by then, according to Musk?
/s
robotaxis will be viable about the time they are powered by on-board micro-fusion reactors. Which will be great bc you’ll never need to plug them in or refuel.
Who would win. A cyberpunk looking “$30k” robotaxi or one speed bump/pot hole
This is not the robotaxi
Yup, it’s a concept car “robovan.” And I think it looks gross.
I don’t want to yuck your yum but I think it looks badass. I think the concept is badass. I don’t want to own a car but I also can’t afford a chauffeur. We don’t have much of any public transit in my area. Bike paths are making progress but still not what I would consider safe. An autonomous van that carries 20 passengers would be very cost-effective. It’s not an ideal solution but may be the best one we could actually implement using existing infrastructure and without voter approval.
Also that bottom part appears to be a similar height to any typical car to me, and is supposedly just an aerodynamic skirt that will fold up if it actually hits anything. That’s what I’ve read but obviously can’t verify.
In the future, there are no potholes or imperfections of any kind. The ground and buildings are smooth, shiny, and constantly maintained to perfection somehow. Everything looks like a starship.
Camera pans down to the lower levels. Dark illuminated streets are visible, illuminated by sparse sunlight that manages to find cracks in the starship like road above. Flickering mismatched neon signs offer work, with long lines of broken humans waiting to find any job not taken over by AI and Optimus robots.
Everything’s chrome in the future!
As long as it’s not a water poodle…
When does it go into production? Whats the cost?
No statements on production for the robovan. Cost he said would be $0.05-0.10/mile, though unclear if that was to the owner or to the customer. Double that for the customer and it’s still very cost effective.
When? Never
Cost? N/A
That image is of the bus so it probably requires a ‘fleet’ type purchase alongside a maintenance contract
No one gives a flying F what that asshole says.
Unfortunately a lot of people do. So many people care they made him the richest person in the world. I always hated obscenely rich people, but there’s something special with Musk, he manages to add insult to injury.
look at the stock prices of Tesla Uber and Lyft today.
Haha, had no idea, I don’t watch the stock market
