Tesla Robotaxi is Much Bigger Than You Think | But Here’s The Thing

[@heyJohnEe]

We’re you happy with the event and overall what was unveiled, and if you were disappointed what else could’ve made it better?

[@heyJohnEe]

For those curious, Elon’s response to the crowd yelling HW3 HW3 was “let’s not get nuanced here” and then quickly asks for the next slide, so probably RIP HW3 cars lol

[@calvingoh9321]

This video is more believable as sarcasm.

[@somethingclever1234]

I think he wants a rocket ride with Elon

[@C0LiDe]

Thanks John. But I think the robotaxi won't come in 2 years but much later. Tesla Roadster should have been there a long time ago and what happened? It's been years.

[@Ample17]

Yeah probably 2030 or so.

[@heyJohnEe]

Yeah it’s hard to say with the timeline, but hopefully not too far off the estimated 2 years

[@vietle4973]

Thanks John

[@heyJohnEe]

You got it! 👊

[@jabareo]

Do we know if the Model Y’s at the event that were driving themselves were using HW4 or AI5?

[@heyJohnEe]

Since there was nothing new in terms of the placements, I’m going to take they’re running HW4 programmed a little bit more lenient

[@gregoryreed441]

@@heyJohnEeI dare even say the ai5 was running ai4 like ai4 did with ai3 for sometime until they were able to have enough miles driven to train ai 4. I believe it’ll be the same. Probably why the performance for both cars were probably equal during the event

[@heyJohnEe]

@gregoryreed441 you got a point

[@oykkh29]

Great event John 👍🏻👌🏻 when can we order the cybercab?. Tesla always open for pre order the same day !

[@heyJohnEe]

We’re looking at least 2027 sadly

[@oykkh29]

@@heyJohnEebut why no pre orders now like the Model 3 cybertruck etc! ?? So no model 2 you think? Cancelled?

[@heyJohnEe]

@oykkh29 I’m thinking the mass production takes longer, and Model 2 unboxed process is apparently still coming but I’ll confirm that first

[@oykkh29]

@@heyJohnEe tnx John. Have a nice day 👍🏻👌🏻

[@heyJohnEe]

@oykkh29 have a great weekend 👊

[@TeslaOutage]

I feel for the HW3 owners.. By the way, was the robotaxi expected in 2 years?

[@heyJohnEe]

Yeah same. Yup 2 years for the Robotaxi that you can buy

[@Adam-zd2bk]

@@heyJohnEe so they have 2 years to roll out wireless charging around the country?

[@heyJohnEe]

@Adam-zd2bk wireless charging shouldn’t be difficult, it’s already present in the cybertruck and they’re already developing the add on to the home charger seen in the latest filings. It’s just a matter of enabling it though software

[@Adam-zd2bk]

imagine buying a car without a steering wheel... that is so stupid, there will be so many times the AI wont do exactly what you want

[@heyJohnEe]

It’ll only come out without a steering wheel when FSD is perfect

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

@@heyJohnEe which is never😂😂😂

[@heyJohnEe]

@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg never say never 😁

[@lashlarue59]

As much as people whine and complain about Level 1 charging (which is very usable if you're not a moron); imagine what wireless charging is going to be like at the level of a car. The slowness of wireless charging is going to make Level 1 look like a Supercharger, the heat it will generate and wireless charging has got to be the most inefficient use of electricity there is. All this because people are too lazy to plug in a wire.

[@heyJohnEe]

If they implement something similar to MagSafe it ain’t too bad, it just needs correct alignment. I went over their filings in the recent video

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

John I love you but it was a complete letdown Elon says oh we're gonna have pilot programs in 2000 whenever which is total garbage and then on top of that he said next year they're gonna have model three Robo taxes I don't believe it they haven't even gotten NHTSA approval it's just not gonna happen imo - what Elon says and what Elon does are two different things - if it wasn't a letdown in the stock wouldn't have dropped like it did obviously people were not impressed

[@heyJohnEe]

We’ll see by 2026 if what they say holds true, and generally TSLA drops after any event or earnings I’ve never seen the opposite happen

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

John you know my feelings about Elon's bad idea of not using Lidar and not using radar this is exactly what this article is talking about not using fault tolerance not using Lidar and radar is absolutely foolish - at the end of the day being Pennywise and pound foolish will cost them big time ! There's a reason why Waymo Baidu Cruise Zoox are not following Elon's example because it's foolish and dangerous the article brings that up 100%

[@heyJohnEe]

I would tend to agree, but I’ve been using the latest FSD supervised in all my daily driving in super complex cases and it’s doing extremely well except in some minor cases. I’ll step back for now and wait to make a better judgement if they end up at a brick wall hardware wise

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

@@heyJohnEe I'm on hardware three I just got 12.5 but I haven't driven the car I need to try it out to see how good or bad it is

[@heyJohnEe]

@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg yeah give it a try and don’t lean towards those videos who highly praise or highly against FSD, just be unbiased and judge for yourself and you’ll be quite surprised with the last few updates. Although I am still on the fence about how it deals with mud, snow, blocked camera situations, I’ll reserve that for when NHTSA addresses it which I’ll cover in todays video

[@jeffufcfanaticrosenberg]

@@heyJohnEe even 12.3 was OK as long as it wasn't dark or anything it worked fine pretty much - definitely super excited to try it out

[@TomasAngelus]

I think let's not get nuanced is liftonpt disrespectful thing you can say to customers and investors.

[@heyJohnEe]

😬

[@xkr510]

I think this was a solid disappointment given the build up. Now you are going to wait for his promises on delivery come to out of the wishful mists? Besides that, Musk is a hard right nut job. So no, nothing about this was worth my time. I won’t buy a Tesla anytime soon.

[@Ample17]

I would buy a Tesla, they are great cars. But i can't afford one. What i'm not going to buy anymore is Tesla stock though.
