I have to say, congratulations to #Tesla for finally inventing the bus. Now granted, they are the 23rd tech company to invent the 18th century omnibus, but congrats nonetheless.

I look forward to their invention of CyBerGuIDEs (rails) and GiGaHyperBatterY (overhead electrification).

#Tesla #CyberCab #DriverlessCars #EVs #Musk #RoboTaxis: "Back in 2019, Musk announced a million robotaxis would be on the road in 2020. They never arrived then, and likely won’t this time either. Tesla’s share price dropped 8% when markets opened the morning after the event, signaling investors are getting fed up with his lies as the company struggles to sell cars to customers who have plenty of other options. For a long time, it looked like Tesla would become the automotive startup that would make it. But plagued by a self-obsessed CEO, continued complaints of poor build quality, and an inability to deliver new products on time or on budget, its days may be numbered.

Elon Musk got used to getting by with bold statements and flashy visuals that might never go anywhere. But his ability to lie his way to success was premised on the goodwill he’d built up with the public and investors knowing they were still going to make their money at the end of the day. His descent into billionaire grievance politics and his decision to lash out at a world that expects him to play by the same rules that apply to everyone else may kill that goodwill once and for all. His fall can’t come soon enough, but will open more space for a future that looks nothing like the one he has in mind."

Elon Musk’s Cybercab recycles a decade of broken promises

Bold promises may no longer be enough for an extremist CEO who can’t deliver

“#Tesla shares tumbled in premarket trading Friday morning after investors took a lukewarm view of the debut of the company's new automated Cybercab concept vehicle the day before.

Shares dropped 5.8% before U.S. markets opened, according to CNBC. One Barclays analyst threw cold water on the presentation, saying it failed to offer any near-term opportunities for the electric automotive giant.”
