I am wonderin how successful/profitable Robotaxi is going to be. At least in America. Americans have a relationship with cars that is different from the rest of the world. EV’s are going to keep growing, but it won’t be the willing, forward looking, well heeled buyers that has driven Tesla’s growth so far. Tesla is going to have to work harder from now on to gain market share from ICE. Price is keeping a large segment of people on the economic spectrum away. Skepticism about EV’s in general is keeping others away…but it is going to be VERY difficult to convince people to give up control of their very expensive cars. Yes, there will be some, but will it be enough to make Robotaxi a success? I just don’t know…the freedom that cars represent to Americans won’t be handed over to a computer, no matter how good it gets…

Doubt current camera positions are much of a problem for Tesla Vision. The robotaxi geometry will prioritize super easy entry/exit and a large cargo area. The camera positions simply follow from that. A future where urban roads are dominated by robotaxi service is an exciting one. At the expected price point, it could completely replace all public and private transit in these congested areas, save taxpayers money, and significantly increase safety.

As much of a genius as he is, he’s also sometimes just like a petulant kid. He can walk these things back now to some extent, but plenty of damage has been done because he couldn’t keep his temper in check, and plenty of very smart people were laid off completely unnecessarily and had to go through that trauma.

That's kinda the thing i think more people need to realize. Elon isn't even really a genius. He's a guy with cool ideas who also has the social and business clout to convince/make other people finance and produce his ideas into becoming reality, just like Steve Jobs was. Nothing wrong with that, but i think people give him way too much "omg he's a genius of our time" credit that he doesn't truly deserve. And also just like Steve Jobs, the social prickliness required to be able to get people to work over time to make your futuristic ideas reality is a double edged sword that also results in tantrums and blow ups and toxic work environments and intelligent hard working people losing their jobs at the drop of a hat if they say anything other than "Yes i will make that happen" like you said. The real geniuses have always been the engineers and problem solvers. The smartest thing Elon does is know which ones of them to hire (which he then negates when he fires them for not stroking his ego, as evidenced by literally everything that's happened over at Twitter since he bought it).

Agree with all of that. I have lived in China 7 years. The problem with China is a cultural and legislative requirement that all large companies allow a CCP member to sit on their board. And he can pull the rug out of things if the company doesn’t operate the way the party wants. That’s a CONTROL MECHANISM, and you, I, we, all of us don’t need instruments of the Chinese Communist Party insinuating itself into our community as this isn’t just hypothetical, this actual happens. (Jack Ma lost control of a few of his most successful companies, HuaWei CEO was forced to step down,…) The CCP plays the long game. Look at what happened to Hong Kong. They accommodated a two system country until they decided it was time to harvest the population of Hong Kong and shutdown wealthy people and extract wealth. Think of them like an oil company. They let you have nice things for decades until it’s time to use their control to harvest you. They do this to their own people and they do this to others.

Not a finance guy but could Ford losing more money per vehicle on their EV line be a good thing? Doesn't that mean that they have invested more into the tooling and manufacturing of EVs? And those costs of that are associated with EVs so at a per vehicle level, it seems to lose more money but in the long term, having that investment will be good?

@VMYeahVN

14 күн бұрын

Nope. It's still a bad thing, selling their cars at a loss doesn't mean they invested more into tooling and manufacturing. It means they aren't selling enough EVs for "economy of scale" (the more you sell, the cheaper it is to produce) yet and it means the ones they are selling aren't made efficiently enough from a production process perspective. Part of the reason they aren't selling enough EVs is due to half hearted commitment, macroeconomics issues like people not being able to afford the mid and high end EVs, and the fact that they still have to keep their ICE car business going (an inherent struggle all legacy auto faces during this transition to EVs). Selling their cars at a loss now doesn't really do anything for the long term. They are doing some things that will be good investment for their EVs in the long term like setting up a few EV production lines and working on newer battery tech in labs and what not, but selling their current EVs at a major loss isn't one of them. A good sign of investment would be seeing how much money they lose per vehicle becomes less and less (which is what Rivian is doing), instead Ford's losses are GROWING.

It's going to be hard to attract talent when they know they could lose their job without notice at every mood swing. I would be asking for a huge signing bonus as a war chest and hedge. You can get fired because Elon is mad at your bosses boss and not because of your own performance.

Second hand sales of EV's in the UK went up 73% in comparison to last year. People want EV's in the UK - but they can't afford the £700-850 per month/ to get one. And you can add another 100 to the cost per month for insurance. Working class folks cant afford that on a car. But they can afford £300-£470 per month on a 2-4 year old Model 3. I saw a 2020 Model 3 standard with less than 45k miles sell for £19.5k. Now that's starting to get very affordable and for the money an amazing super hi tech car.

If set for auto speed enabled, it goes well above the speed limit. I really hope it acts as well here as it apparently does for you with 12.4, but I doubt it. I'm currently just using Autosteer.

I am more interested in Tesla fixing phantom breaking and over all quality than FSD or a robotaxi.

I avoid these videos because they are a group of week old news but sometimes Ryan tricks me into clicking.

If Tesla sneezes, the whole industry catches cold? I see the inventory on dealer lots of Ford, GM, Toyota, etc are ballooning to beyond 3 million and will be 4 million by year end. This does not mean all is well, it is just delaying the problems. Cars are being built that no one is buying. The prices are insane and money is tight. Only the 1% have money to spend on range Rovers.

Sorry but robo taxi won't work until there's a way to auto clean the lenses. Too many times you can't engage because of dirty cameras.

FSD is insane its so good still has issues though. This morning 12.4 tried to get into the wrong lane (interstate exit) while doing it in an intersection. I sent a report when I took over.

Tesla FSD is like a 14 year old kid driving the car robo will be the same

Exciting!❤

Seems the Model 3 will be the Robotaxi. Either the Model 2's manufacturing process was not feasible in the timeframe required, Elon realized they can't compete globally with China's low cost EVs, or after Cybertruck, he got bored with making/selling cars. Maybe all three So he blew everything up except FSD/AI and Tesla's expert car makers are bailing.

8:45 actually, latest news is lowering measures for importing minerals from foreign entities like china. For battieres

If this robo taxi is built, without human controls it will be a dud. IMHO.

Can’t they embed camera inside the head light space . I think the head light glass will provide an added layer of protection against the elements. Just a thiught

Sorry 12.3.6 is good but interventions are not going down for me. Removing the mirrors is easy. 8/8 will be a scam, model 3 with no mirrors and FSD 12.5 with some training for pickup/drop off.

What's hilariously depressing is that China is more than happy to share manufacturing secrets to assist in the global declination of manufacturing costs, something pretty important to EV pricing. Just ask Tesla. Yet, myriad companies based out of myriad other countries refuse to let any other companies, especially startups and well-established names, look into their processes because they are considered "competition." Regardless of any mutual benefit, in order to maximize market share and by proxy, profits.

A new design of a car is nice ofcourse. A new way of transportation would be extraordinary awesome 😎😎

I want the robotaxi now. I can just have 1 car for my entire home to serve all members of my family. Drop me off work, then go back home avoid parking charges. Then drive my wife and kids to school then drive my wife to grocery then back home. Then send it to the tesla fleet for 4 or 5 hours to make $150 bucks, then order the car back to pick me up when I finish work and take me home while I take a nap in the back seat. Love it. Price must be $25,000 or less. I'll buy.

I’m singing along with the chorus here don’t care about the Robo taxi. I want the new improved model Y and forever cars that you can drive/control yourself the big challenge here I think is getting a long range decent sized vehicle out. All of the lower priced cars are going to be smaller that’s not what a lot of people want. Also, let’s all rise up and don’t patronize Robo taxis. We have to save jobs not eliminate them.

Oh yeah.. the domestic manufacturers get mad when the other countries show prices can be less so they tell them they can’t play instead of reduce prices. Wack.

Ryan why no discussion about Waymo & comparison to Tesla Robotaxi and/or FSD. Waymo is fully electric, autonomous and been running for a few years already here in East Phoenix area…why does it take Tesla so long with all the data gathering from shear number of Teslas on the road?

Very, very, very different technologies. IF Tesla can get their version running as well as Waymo's Geo Fenced much more expensive to deploy per vehicle option, it changes the game immensely. However, as of RIGHT NOW, Waymo is truly autonomous where it is designed to be. If FSD gets that good, the idea is to have everyone using it, not just for the robotaxi service, but if you were a Tesla owner, you could be in the Robotaxi business just like getting into the Uber business, just send your car out to work while you are at work, or after you get home, or whatever, on its own. There are infinite possibilities IF FSD does what Waymo does but does it for 100 times more usability than Waymo outside of the robotaxi model, and for a lot less cost per car, like several times less

Waymo may not exist in a few years. Their system is extremely limited and hardware is very expensive. AI in Tesla's will go nearly anywhere. Waymo must stay in their little safe areas repeating the same little grid over and over. Despite their controlled areas, there software is under investigation after federal regulators received 22 reports of crashing or violating traffic safety laws by driving in the wrong lane or into construction zones etc. Their growth is slow and expensive and won't sustain other than small established areas. Plus, they're not allowed on freeways.

The important question, is there a ront bumper camera for the M3 test vehicle.

Robotaxis are all for China. I'm worried that the model 2 is dead 😢. Some other company may have to be the driver for low cost EVs

FSD has a loooong way to still go. Robo taxies are 5+ years out

Yea, the company recently got shut down. The robotaxis were called Cruise if you want to look them up. Safety concern I believe.

I dont care about Tesla any more.

News about Ford is so enraging - if the idiots would stop making a billion different options forcing so much money into R&D and engineering for production, MAYBE they could turn bloody profit. Simplify the product pipeline, Ford! But nah, traditional manufacturers gonna traditionally manufacture.

Tesla needs a new CEO who is only responsible for Tesla. Elon Musk should just be the president of the board.

Model 3s and Ys are cheap as ever I bet they don't release the model 2 because of the ridiculous competition coming from China right now. It would be a race to the bottom

⚡⚡⚡🧙🏻‍♂

Tesla 2 is vaporware and they should really make one ASAP... The current models are showing their age. The design is getting old even if the technology has improved. The first introduction of the S model was done in 2009 and it hit the market in 2012. They all look alike, and the X, which was some sort of hybrid between an SUV and a saloon, looks nowhere near as an SUV as the X5, X6, or Audi Q5 or Q6. Tesla Truck looks rediculous and available only in North America as no one else would buy one, they should invest into a global car. They look outdated, and the whole portfolio needs a refresh if you want to make the sales numbers rise again. A Model 3 from 2017 is almost the same as in 2024. I know they are developing and trying to keep the cost down, but they really need to redo the designs even if the technology remains the same.

Tesla's user base & fleet is simply too small to support robotaxi. Permission in China is great, but just a start, and not everything. Buyers & riders alike will want a fully functional affordable Cybertruck, Cybervan, and mini-Truck. Not just for style preference. Some families or groups might need a 9 or 12 passenger van. Or take a Cybertruck to the lumberyard. How will Tesla compete or get new customers without those? The future of commuting is a focus on micro-mobility, mass transit; carpooling. Sharing a robotaxi is the only option Tesla has on that list, and it's not popular. Slashing & burning to get to robotaxi next year is scary. Maybe those add-on cameras are a test for a kit to outfit other vehicles to license FSD. Seems like Elon is ready to outsource everything.
