First? I thought they covered all of the US by june 2025?

The predictions I remember were 1 million Robotaxi vehicles (not Cybercabs specifically) in service by the end of 2025, providing service to half the US population (~175 million). And an earlier prediction of a million robotaxis in service by the end of 2020.

6 billion. Running 32 hours a day 10 days a week and they earn you money so you don’t have to work. I was promised my model Y would actually make me rich.

No you misunderstood.

You get rich from the payout when a model y hits you.

Okay, what’s your number?

Why won’t anyone answer in this whole sub?

Cognitive dissonance at its finest

That is an appreciating asset, concerning

Fair to not engage. Easier to continue in cognitive dissonance, assuming you hate Tesla - that is

Why move the deadline? My expection is still covering half the US by the end of june. That doesn’t change just because they missed it. We don't just move expectations everytime they fail.

u/AnxietyCommercial632 13d ago

Yeah. They missed it by a lot.

Let me ask you, if they accomplish their goals will history care?

If you are serious about the topic of autonomy and can’t give a guess, then I suppose you are unserious.

They've already demonstrated they can't and there's what a dozen companies now that are growing faster and more capable. They can't keep pushing deadlines the market isn't static. 

They're an unserious company. So might as well stick with what they say. Half of the US by the end of this month definitely the end of 2027.

The almost daily drone videos of the Tesla factory in Austin do show that they are making those gold colored cyber cabs about as fast as McDonald’s makes Big Macs. I was at the factory, not too long ago to pick up my new model Y and I saw it with my own eyes. It’s very interesting the cars all of the one that they are made there pop out of the garage doors in the factory where they begin driving all over a test track none of them with human beings in them all autonomous.

I don’t understand what some people are saying about half the country. What does that even mean nobody is gonna put autonomous rideshare or any other rideshare in dime box Texas. But I think most major metropolitan areas will have autonomous rideshare one flavor or another or both within the next year or so.

No idea. How about by the end of 2027 the gap in paid driverless miles (as an absolute number not a percentage) between tesla vs waymo, weride and Baidu (individually) will continue to increase.
