    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?

      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.

        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.

        That image is of the bus so it probably requires a ‘fleet’ type purchase alongside a maintenance contract
