Elon tried to pump the Tesla stock with his BS Robotaxi event and it promptly backfired. The stock lost ground some 9%.
Turns out that finally, at last, Wall Street woke (pun intended) up to Elon's BS exaggerations regarding autonomous Teslas.
On top of that, FSD software is getting worse, with ever-higher disengagement rates, and whereas the geofenced Waymos are seeing about 30,000 miles between disengagements, the latest Cybertrucks (in an admittedly small sample across 3 states) are seeing 9 miles. Yep, that's nine miles.
Making it worse, investors had assumed that the low-price Tesla (dubbed "Model 2") would be reinstated. They were to be disappointed.
Altogether not a good day for MAGA Musk.

Okay, Robotaxi looks cool. But how is this better than Model 2?
Tesla’s Robotaxi event came and went last night, and we finally learned (very few) new details about the much-hyped car...

He's still pandering to the "let's make cars go back to being giant unsafe oil burning iron barges" crowd, so I can't say this is surprising in the least.

Former Twitter executives—including Agrawal as well as former Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, former Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, and former general counsel Sean Edgett—alleged that Musk planned to deny their severance to make them pay for extra costs that they approved that clinched the Twitter deal.
They claimed that Musk told his official biographer, Walter Isaacson, that he would "hunt every single one of" them "till the day they die," vowing "a lifetime of revenge." Musk supposedly even "bragged" to Isaacson about "specifically how he planned to cheat Twitter’s executives out of their severance benefits in order to save himself $200 million."

If it's in writing (this allegation would need to be proven through discovery) it will be fun to see this go to discovery. It probably won't though until Twitter is dead and they have no money to chase as he will stall and delay.Former Twitter executives—including Agrawal as well as former Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, former Chief Legal Officer Vijaya Gadde, and former general counsel Sean Edgett—alleged that Musk planned to deny their severance to make them pay for extra costs that they approved that clinched the Twitter deal.

Today I watched a TYT video of Elon Musk, who is quite tall, walking towards the prototype Cybercab with its gold-painted tires.
The doors started to open when he was still 4 long strides away. And not only the door nearest him, but the one on the far side with nobody near it. My Tesla sometimes won't unlock when I'm touching it.
Given that the Optimus robots have been shown to have been remotely controlled, I'm calling BS on "autonomy".
Here's the moment the doors started moving, you can just see the door line breaking...

I wouldn't worry about what was planned or not unless you're an investor b/c that's never getting off the ground & certainly isn't coming by 2026-2027.
Remember the Roadster? Yeah, that's also supposed to be unveiled right now so production can start in a few months, but that's about the 4th or 5th time (hell, maybe even 6th or 7th) that car has missed its expected date. Cybertruck's another example that only finally made it b/c Elon was personally invested & we've all seen what a wonderfully built product that is....
Point is, never actually get interested in Tesla showcases b/c they've never gone anywhere. Elon only does them to get investors excited except perhaps this time, people know better.

Tesla Caught Using a Lazy Video Editing Trick to Make Its "Autonomous" Robots Look More Capable
A lot of Tesla's Optimus robot footage has been considerably sped up presumably to make it look more capable than it actually is.

Perhaps this was the thing he was worried he'd go to jail for.
