Musk bets big on Robotaxi, ditching affordable EV plans

Friends, are you ready? Well, my advice is that you should hold on to your steering. Elon Musk said last year that by the end of the year, Tesla will launch its much-awaited robot taxi which will be made public on August 8. This prediction is another viable option shown in two Tesla models of different generations and has a precedent in Tesla’s strategy.

Additionally, the recent news of Tesla scrapping the idea of a $25,000 electric car should also be taken into consideration. Musk doesn’t care about cars anymore, considering the production of self-driving taxis, which could make personal vehicles look like showroom dinosaurs.

In 2014, Musk bought Tesla Motors, which promised a fleet of self-driving robotaxis. He’s teased the idea for at least a while now, including unveiling a pseudo-concept during a showcase of the 2023 master plan. Previously, he had speculated that a Tesla owner could own their vehicle and make money from it, simply by allowing someone to pick it up and drop it off as part of the “Tesla Network.”

Musk’s years have passed with the same old comment that “self-driving Tesla is just around the corner” with seemingly no aging process associated with it. Automate and FSD are advanced technologies. Even though Tesla cars are with automatic drives and FSD, the driver’s position cannot be replaced by sleeping passengers. Critics say that by relying on intense media coverage and promises that exceed the technology’s functionality, Musk once again overstates the capabilities of vehicles using Autopilot and FSD, even if they result in accidents or deaths. Have been involved.

Although Musk may not be a skilled leader running the company; However, he remains a visionary looking beyond the imagined limits of autonomous technology. This could be a blow to the chassis and a front in the Tesla game or just another entertaining event in its repertoire. Keeping this aside, the question of the nature of the upcoming transport will come to the fore on August 8.
