Musk made several wild predictions, including claims that the Robotaxi fleet
in Austin would reach "500 vehicles" by the end of the year and that the
Robotaxi would “cover half the US population” by the end of the year.
If you are only following Tesla's official channels, you would think that
everything is going as planned
The reality is that Tesla is barely operating its Robotaxi in Austin.
While Tesla is doing the "easy things" for optics, such as adding more
vehicles to the fleet and expanding the service area, the actual service
barely exists.
What is the point of having a fleet of 30 vehicles if you are only operating
3-6 at a time?
What is the point of “opening the service to all” if you are only able to
offer a few rides per hour?
What is the point of removing the safety monitor if you already have a crash
rate higher than human drivers, with the safety monitor presumably preventing
further crashes?
The point is optics. Elon Musk is trying to maintain the illusion that Tesla
is leading in autonomy and giving himself a win on some predictions after a
full decade of missed deadlines.
The concerning part is that it poses a safety risk to all road users.
Once again; over-promising an under-delivering, making false claims which
never come to fruition. It's the story of almost everything the Pedo Guy is
involved in.
It's why Trump called him out as a "Bullshit Artist". He wasn't wrong.
Is it because of the ketamine addiction or has he become addicted to it
because the Pedo Guy's such a fraud and knows he is ?
