Tesla's new Cybercab promo video says "The future is autonomous"

Tesla

Tesla unveiled its 'please buy more shares so the share price goes up and investors (including yourself) are happy' Hail Mary hype play, the Cybercab (or is that Robotaxi?), earlier this month. We'd call it a pipe dream, but it's more obviously a hype dream, meant to keep people investing in Tesla shares and making Elon Musk richer and richer every day.

This product, which is at best a concept in its current state, is the future of transportation according to Tesla. In fact, its newest promo video outright claims that "The future is autonomous". See for yourself:

Welcome to Dystopia. Where your Cybercab's doors open in a cool way, and all of the Cybercabs are pristine, and no one ever robs you at gunpoint while you're in one. Oh, and they can obviously drive autonomously everywhere - you know, something no vehicle is currently capable of doing.

So this is indeed a video about the future, or at least a possible future, since it's definitely not about anything near the present. But it keeps the hype cycle going, and that's all that matters, isn't it?

Crazy how he says this meanwhile he's literally buying people's votes that go against his business and his "autonomous driving"

Future is also 6C fast charging which is almost double the speed of Tesla Supercharger v4. For Waymo, Cruise, Baidu Apollo, Zoox autonomous is the present.
