Elon also said the Robovan could carry cargo. Think about it having no seats and an Optimus on board. Package delivery. Just a thought.

[@weho_brian]

i think amazon is working on that

[@rox282]

I sell land on the moon

[@bikesqump]

robovan is likely for the public transport tunnels, like in chicago etc.

Dan Ives also completely missing that robo taci is launching next yearbwith 3/y

Folks this was all vaporware. So few details by Elon. We have seen this game from him before. He's past his prime. Tesla needs new leadership. Robotaxi - just 2 seater?? lol

[@kellyjohnson4578]

The largest hurdle is full self driving. Teslas vehicles are great and have come a long way just in the past year.
It’s a slow rollout in just Texas and California and Once “full” self driving is achieved I believe the realization of robotaxis will be rapid

[@tnelly6588]

Why would Elon say 50% sales growth next year (2.7M deliveries in 2025)?

[@keziasarah]

Because he's a liar

[@keziasarah]

He also said 4.5T by 2025 - So full of crxp

[@raymondschembri5042]

@@keziasarahDid you miss the boat? I’m great full if it goes to 1.5 T😊

[@johnstefanowicz6595]

Exellent

This event was never going to be about a cheaper Tesla vehicle it’s only you id10ts that thought that even though it was quite clear that this event was going to be solely about automation

[@garyscott9261]

Couldn’t disagree with you more Gene, re: the debate on whether Tesla is a tech company. They are an automotive company until they prove otherwise. Repeating a few ideas that’s been around for decades and creating your own prototype doesn’t make them a tech company. I’m surprised that you are so easily convinced without much evidence. Elon has been making promises for close to a decade now and most of his promises have not come to fruition.

Gary you’ll recognize they’re a tech company when you buy almost any other brand and find yourself at the dealership to get a software update

[@tasd5673]

And Amazon was just a bookstore
Google was just a search engine!
Apple just a computer company

[@garyscott9261]

@@nickynick1014 let’s agree to disagree. I’ll recognize they’re a tech company when they realize revenue from said technology. I will gladly recognize them as a tech company at that time.
