Man, instead of jumped the shark, people will start saying Showed The Robovan.

Elon Mush is probably the third worst person in the world, after Putin and tRump.  Can’t wait until he flies into the sun on one of his rockets.

I think Elon’s fired all the people at Tesla that actually made the company amazing. So now it’s just where like artists fart out Elon’s dumb ideas. 

Everything about this makes no sense. That is a terrible form for a taxi - two seater.

The Cybercab looks like they took the Model 3 and the VW XL1 and put them in a blender. It doesn’t look half bad, but it’s a terrible choice for a taxi. “Sexy little hypermiler coupe” would make for a great entry-level Tesla, which is what I bet this was. The delay in presentation was because they had to rip the…

None of these things are actually mean to exist, which is why there are no details: They’re just meant to make gullible rubes go “ooh, aah” and pump the stock the next day and keep the grift afloat a little longer.

to unveil the company’s first autonomous taxi.

Is it just me, or does everything look like movie props???

Sure the stock is tanking after everyone collectively began to realize that the emperor has no clothes and is just hocking miracle tonics, but I guess they don’t realize that it’s more of a Shelbyville idea.

a 20 passenger van with tesla’s FSD and no human override controls? I can’t see the robovan being anything but an art deco toaster of death

Forget about the price for a second, the real question is WHEN ???

You have seen the candidates for our upcoming election?  There is always a significant population eager for a grift. 

Yup - nothing long term, just vague outlandish promises to try to pump the stock for the next day after which it can quickly be dumped.

Yeah, I found that statement kind of horrifying. I have to believe the state government has the ability and authority to stop what would be a VERY ill-advised publicity stunt/mass casualty event.

Are the dummy “shut up and take my money” investors finally done being convinced by Musk’s vaporware promises? At long last are they actually able to recognize a con man doing an obvious con? Somebody slap me I must be dreaming.

Elon dog and pony show.

If he delivers on a single one of the promises made it will be a miracle, and doubtful it’ll be as presented if delivered. The most likely aspect I see is inductive charging (and not as a standalone method as presented). Robotaxi is not happening in given timeline, price, or form as presented (Dihedral doors? Tesla…

At this point they’ll need to ship in volume with fabulous results for me to even start believing it. Tesla in increasingly a vaporware company and Musk needs money and a stock jump very badly. There is no reason to believe any of this is real or can scale.

“says that unsupervised FSD will come to current Tesla owners in California next year”

so, it was a classic Tesla event!
