  Ah but now they’re going to be a robot company selling fewer and fewer robots instead.

      iirc the robots worked but were remotely piloted? I can totally see a brand of rich person who would rather have the ‘staff’ be physically off site.

        They didn’t work that well either.

      That would be hilarious and such a malicious way to get the taxi number and robot number for the pay package.

    But they can’t sell fewer than zero! Egads, Tesla has found a way to never shrink their business anymore!

      Well, they could pay people to take their cars. Would that be less than 0?

        They couldn’t pay me to take a Tesla. No resale value.

  Tesla isn’t a car company, it’s a techbro company. They don’t sell cars, they sell the idea that any day now they’ll achieve a technological breakthrough.
  But it’s becoming obvious that won’t happen, so they now pivot to robots. Selling the idea that they’ll achieve a breakthrough in that space soon.
  Those buying the products aren’t the target audience, the investors are. The customers are just useful cattle.

  I though they were a stock company, since that’s all they sell.
