In addition to the Cybercab, Musk also announced plans to produce an autonomous, electric Robovan that can carry up to 20 people, or be used to transport goods. He said it will “solve for high density,” transporting a sports team, for example.

ah yes, the riddle of the streets being clogged with sports team transportation vehicles.

this guy has a blindspot for busses.

Not a blindspot but a seething hatred

Seeing a gymnasium full of grieving parents and your heart sinks because you assume there's been another school shooting only to find out its because the varsity football's Robovan decided to autonomously crash into a fuel depot.

Transporting sports teams? In that thing? It takes like four or five of the giant charter buses to move a college football team from the hotel to the stadium. No way you can fit 20 football players comfortably in a robovan, not mention the mountains of equipment they bring with them. It would legit take 20 of those vans to do the job, which in Leon's mind, will solve for high density.

Speaking of sports, what happened to the Dugout line, or whatever the fuck dorks plan for moving fans from Echo Park to Dodger Stadium, which is not really that far of a jaunt

like... despite Tesla's repeated failures in this department, actually building cars isn't the hard part of solving autonomy

50 "prototype" cars that don't work and no plan, just "2 more years bro trust me bro"

That's the most damning part IMO. People caught on to his infinite 2 years away self driving, so he shifted a bit and now a thing that is dependent on self driving is 2 years away. He lies like a child.

They move too many people, 20 people is basically collectivist communist nonsense. Make it like a luxury mobile room for one person and put like a tv in it and they’ll love it

I honestly imagine there’s a significant part of the finance bro archetype that would probably go woaw just like sonic soypoint-2 and give them money so … possibly?

I can see the LinkedIn posts now. “I banged out so many computer tasks in my hot tub digital nomad mobile. Traffic used to be my biggest productivity sink, thanks Elon!”

[-] Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Bizarre. Who are these people who believed in Tesla through the last dozen "full self driving in two years" announcements, and yet finally saw through it for this?

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Something about how the market can't stay irrational longer than something.... It's been a long time since gme

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

Still too many buy into this ting

Sometimes it seems like the most controversial thing I say to libs is that fully autonomous self driving doesn’t exist.

[-] IzyaKatzmann@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

After the event, analysts at Jeffries published a note titled “We, underwhelmed.”

this had me laughing

[-] halfpipe@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

Robotaxi? Does Tesla do anything at this point except copy stuff that Chinese companies have been doing for years?

Well, I'm sure the Tesla version will cost 10x as much and have a triple digit bodycount in the first month.

The only surprise was a Robovan? What did Elon expect? Rookie mistake. He needed to also introduce the...

  • RoboRobo
  • Etc
