The reason why he wants to make a robotaxi is because all the speculation around Tesla was based off his ridiculous promises. Anyone who isn’t a musk fanboy has abandoned Tesla stock. The overvaluation of Tesla was based around ludicrous promises that literally never had a chance of materializing, and the robotaxi is pretty much his last chance to pump the stock.

One major issue with the Robotaxi network is that even if you solve autonomous driving and the myriad of issues around strangers in your car unsupervised, the reality is that Uber loses money underpaying drivers for a service consumers find expensive. Penetrating Uber's market share would require drastically lower pricing, and doing so profitably would require an even greater cut to the owner's share of the profits. Tesla could solve FSD tomorrow and they'd have trouble creating a sustainable robotaxi network with costs and pricing that are appealing to both passengers and car owners that leave them in the black. And they are absolutely not solving FSD tomorrow.

[@electrified0]

The reality is that "driver pay" is not the thing holding Uber back from profitability. When you book a fare, less than half of that actually goes to the driver, and the half of THAT goes towards expenses like fuel, car maintenance and depreciation, and insurance. These fixed costs do not go away when you remove the driver, and a car owner will not accept $0 either so even a 25% reduction in cost is overly optimistic. Then comes the data center costs for Dojo. All to compete with a famously unprofitable company's famously unprofitable business model.

We've had near autonomous vehicles for over 100 years. It's called a train and railroad tracks are dedicated right-of-ways. Trains work great and hardly kill anyone. There are a lot of fully autonomous trains at places like airports and some transit systems. The tech for FSD is never going to be any good for roads that are shared with human drivers and pedestrians. All of the automakers worldwide need to start pressuring the government to start converting existing freeways and feeder roads like frontage roads to restrict them to autonomous vehicles only and don't allow pedestrians.

Musk is making dumb moves and sinking Tesla with him. Cybertruck doesn't make sense, cancelling a lower price model to challenge other brands, Robotaxi?! Autonomous cars already suck, so how can this be profitable? They gotta get back into the right direction

[@xelefonte]

The problem with Tesla over the past couple of years lowering prices of EVs like Model S and Y…is that you have angered two groups of people and both of these groups are synonymous. Group 1 is the group who bought Tesla for its luxury exclusive appeal…I have something you can’t afford. Group 2 are the people who bought Tesla as a good investment believing it was a high performing environmentally efficient vehicle but now have buyer’s remorse because they paid the beta price (over $100K) now witnessing their car significantly depreciate since newer models are much cheaper than when they bought it. That experience will have them never buying a Tesla again. Tesla should just remain as an exclusive luxury car. Lowering the prices won’t incentivize the majority of people like me who see Tesla as a terrible car company with the highest car insurance premiums. I wouldn’t buy a Tesla even at $40K when I bought my Honda hybrid for $15K and I only spend $960/year on gas. My insurance is $35/month in Cali (with just liability) but my sister’s Tesla’s insurance is $162/month. Buying a Tesla to save money from gas costs is stupid because you’re paying for it in so many other ways. A Tesla is simply a terrible investment.

[@emilsohn1671]

Lol Tesla is not going down. It is still selling far more EVs than all others bar BYD. And BYD sales in EVs are boosted mainly by low end cheap vehicles, it's still impressively done by BYD ofc. But Tesla massively outperforms all legacy manufactorers in EV sales, despite this recent downturn in sales. And the stuck for Tesla isn't tanking. It is simply finding its real worth which, if we are all honest, probably wasn't the 800 billion to 1 trillion dollar valuation Tesla was at at its peak. While it is still the world's leading car manufactorer, it isn't worth THAT much and so the company valuation will find its real value. Probably 250-300 trillion. That is the gist of it. Tesla is both the leading EV manufactorer, the future of cars, and it was also massively overhyped at the same time because the 800 billion dollar valuation was probably JUST too high. Sparked ofc by Corona which caused a general stock surge.

[@MuShinnen]

@@emilsohn1671 It isn't the future of cars. They've stagnated for damn near a decade tech wise. Most people aren't interested in EVs because the infrastructure isn't there.
