@@GoGreenAutos because in the UK at least, it will not be moving !! Not any time soon that is. Tesla will have to eat humble pie and re-introduce radar / USS for it to work. I think Tesla has pretty much abandoned the UK as a viable market for its future technology strategy? Roads and parking spaces too small, strange traffic layouts and it rains a lot !!
GV60 is on my list for when the current lease ends. 👍👍👍👍 The Model S & X LHD demo cars is an odd one I find - why? seeing they won't be making them in right hand drive???
Because the Cybertruck suffered from years of delays, there was significant inflation. Plus they struggled with the exoskeleton design so had to start again with the body design. Neither of those looks like it will be an issue with the Cybercab as it should start rolling out of a factory before inflation changes the pricing.
Because something like 90% of all taxi rides are only 1 or 2 people. If you need to carry more, you either get a Model 3 or Y (and there's millions of those already on the road which will also operate as robotaxis) or you get two cabs.
Think of a stereotypical New York yellow cab. There's no sitting up front next to the driver, so it's really a 2 adult ride. The CrybabyCab is just an unimaginative unambitious substitute for existing inefficient transport option, with the human labour cut out to save on costs. Anyone who actually wants to solve traffic and provide transport services would build something with 4 to 6 seats and space for luggage, as a last-mile option operating from a transport hub for busses, trams and trains to get between major hubs.
I would rather have a tesla with self driving but also a steering wheel and brakes so i can avoid the crashes that this thing would have. Even if its 99.9% perfect then who wants to be in it on its 1000th journey knowing your luck is running out and you have no way to avoid the accident.
Yes I was expecting higher more upright seating, more like a Model Y. Still, they'll also be Model Ys operating on the robotaxi network, so pensioners can hail those. And the existing cars will be operating on the Tesla robotaxi network before these new Cybercabs.
@@Zam_from_NerdTube it’s not meant to be driven by a human, hence the name Robotaxi. As for it only having 2 seats, research shows that most taxi journeys are only undertaken by 1 or 2 people.
That looked like fun. Won't catch this now pensioner near one, id never get out of that seat! Happy New Year to you and yours, Matt.👍🥳
Great one and Happy New Year!
Thank you and Happy New Year to you too.
Cybercab screened off because it turns into a pumpkin at midnight
Is it suitable for disabled passengers? Not sure why a low-slung two seater coupe would make a better cab then the traditional upright two box.
It needs a reassuring robot torso and swivelling head as a driver. Then we can call it Jonny Cab ... a variant is clearly destined for Mars.
Will you still need a driving license? Even if you had one what good would it be if there is no way to control it.
No driving license needed.

@@gap9992 The UK has become a dinosaur and if they shun Tesla / Elon, more fool them. There are no viable, cost-effective alternatives.

Because you can buy them in the UK, but LHD only.
is the price like the cyber-truck where it ends up being 3 times the price quoted?

@@GoGreenAutosprofiteering is never taking into account with inflation...

Of course
2 seater taxi, what are they thinking!

FSD is 11 times safer than a human driver.
I'm more excited by the Genesis than the cybercab.
Only if Tesla's CEO weren't Musk, would definitely consider buying a Tesla
Tesla have 125,000 other employees all doing an amazing job and they have some of the world's best engineers.
Hmph
This piece of crap will never come to market.
That coupe looking vehicle is not fit for purpose to be a cab. Not practical whatsoever.
Yes, would need a Tesla bot to help pensioners out of that seat at the medical centre.

A big fat meh when you're years following the development of Aptera
Yeah, Aptera, Lit Motors and others are too slow getting to mass production and unfortunately will probably run out of money.
True
Cybercab screened off because it's just yet another ugly Tesla perhaps.
