CNBC reports that at the World Robot Conference many humanlike robots were doing various activities. But the Tesla Optimus Robot was stationary, in a plastic box, not even powered on. This is a preview of the Tesla robotaxi unveiling, which, if it ever happens, will be another Elon Musk farce.
Bloomberg reports on how the vaporware robotaxi demo originally schedules for August 8th did of course not happen. Plus the whole robotaxi concept appears to simply be a diversion to boost up Tesla stock prices. And it has worked! Meanwhile, a motorcyclist was killed by a Tesla driver using FSD.
CNN reports on how an analyst from Truist Securities took up Elon Musk's statement that doubters of FSD should test-drive it. It did not work out well.
NY Times reports on how Elon Musk's claim of Tesla magically creating robotaxis is completely detached from reality. Also, analysis don't even see how Waymo could turn robotaxis into a profitable business.
Business Insider reports on the Q2 earnings call, and how Tesla investors are not happy with the situation. Elon Musk is definitely feeling the heat, though continues to spout falsehoods about the alleged Tesla robotaxi.
TechCrunch reports that a new date of October 10th has been set for the Tesla robotaxi "unveiling". Unanswered is whether this "unveiling" will be even more embarassing than the Tesla robot mime one.
While Waymo has long claimed to the public and to the CPUC that they use only clean energy, it turns out their vehicles are actually embarrassingly dirty. And the worst part is that Waymo is trying to hide information from the public that would clearly show that they are not using renewable energy for their surprisingly inefficient vehicles.
The Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League put on an autonomous F1 "race" recently. The hype was impressive. The results: the slowest and crashiest F1 event ever!
CNBC reports on Elon Musk's absurd claims that Tesla could be a $25 trillion company. It also reports on how the Tesla Optimus program has only so far put out faked demos.
Quartz reports on the fantasy that Tesla stock could rise to $2,600 in five years due to their vaporware robotaxi system. Rather shocking that anyone would believe this.
CNBC reports that Elon Musk is once again getting sued, this time by The Employees’ Retirement System of Rhode Island, for artificially boosting Tesla share prices with false information. Surely this will happen again in the future once stockholders realize that Musk's robotaxi claims have all been completely and knowingly false.
