    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.

      Who would win. A cyberpunk looking “$30k” robotaxi or one speed bump/pot hole

        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.
