Tesla Autonomy Unleashed 🤖
Meet Cybercab and Robovan
Hold onto your (self-driving) seats, because Tesla just dropped not one, but two game-changing autonomous vehicles at their October 2024 "We, Robot" event! Cue the futuristic music, because these vehicles could change the way we ride forever.
💡 Cybercab: The Future of Taxis, Without the Fare Anxiety
Cybercab—Tesla’s sleek, fully autonomous two-seater robotaxi is expected to glide into our lives by 2027 with a price tag of under $30,000. It features a sleek, angular design reminiscent of the Cybertruck, complete with gull-wing doors, and is equipped with inductive (wireless) charging, eliminating the need for charging plugs. This robotaxi has no steering wheel or pedals, underscoring its focus on autonomy. Tesla claims that the Cybercab will offer extremely low operational costs, estimated at $0.20 per mile. Talk about affordable future mobility!
🚌 Robovan: Need a Ride for 20? No Problem.
Need to transport a crowd? Enter the Robovan, Tesla’s larger autonomous vehicle designed to accommodate up to 20 passengers. Perfect for large groups or high-density transport needs, this futuristic van also has no steering wheel either and is wirelessly charged. Tesla envisions this vehicle changing how groups travel—whether it’s a sports team or a family reunion. While details about its production timeline remain under wraps, the potential is huge.
📉But What About Tesla's Stock?
As shiny as these reveals are, Tesla's stock didn’t exactly get the standing ovation you'd expect. In fact, Tesla’s stock saw a 6% dip right after the event, reflecting some skepticism about the viability and timelines of these ambitious projects. However, there’s more to the story—Tesla’s stock has been on a strong upward trend overall in 2024, with a 50% rise since April. Yet, year over year, the stock is still down 8%, making it a bit of a mixed bag for investors.
Conclusion
Tesla continues to push the boundaries of innovation with its advancements in autonomous vehicles. While investor reactions may remain cautious, the company’s bold vision for the future is undeniable. As Tesla's journey unfolds, all eyes are on their next moves in revolutionizing transport.
On October 18, Tesla also released its Q3 2024 financial report, where Elon Musk sounded pessimistic about the economy on earnings call.
