Tesla

Tesla will finally unveil its long-awaited Robotaxi at an event on October 10 at Warner Bros Studio. The reveal was initially scheduled for August, but got delayed because Elon Musk requested "an important design change to the front".

Ahead of the October 10 unveiling, a Robotaxi has been spotted roaming the Warner Bros lot. As you can see from the image below, it's heavily camouflaged.

That said, there is a very obvious difference between this car and the render that has been circulating on the internet for the past few months (on the right in the X post above) - the real thing seems to have four wheels, while the render only had three.

So that's progress for sure. The Robotaxi is Tesla's newest Hail Mary. Previously, that was the Cybertruck - an outlandish design meant to build and maintain hype in the many years it took from announcement to reality. Sustained hype means sustained stock pricing, at least for Tesla.

Undoubtedly, the company wants to recreate the same level of hype with the Robotaxi - perhaps an outlandish design too, but definitely not to the extent of the Cybertruck. And yet here the product idea itself is what's most outlandish - a robotic, automated taxi? The Sci-Fi future of our dreams is here! We'll see how far that actually is from reality in less than a month, so stay tuned.

they should have skipped this and put effort on a $25K model 2 which was supposed to be selling twice as much as model 3. robotaxi is a show-off. the sales expectations are not more than merely 5K.
