Comment on Tesla's 'unsupervised' Robotaxis vanish a week after pre-earnings announcement

  The chase car has been removed - but no one's seen the self-driving cars either, not since the chase car was removed. It's another intentional misdirection.

    I updated my post above with the actual quote after someone transcribed it. He’s saying there’s a car driving around with nobody in it, and no chase car, so not a paid passenger ride.

    So I imagine it’s going to be really difficult to get video proof of this if its true, because someone will have to spot a random Tesla driving around without a driver and bother to record it. It’s not like an influencer is going to hail it and be able to video it.

    Not gonna lie, when I heard it, it wasn’t as clear this was the case as when i see it written out.

  Remember when the SEC used to call this fraud?

    Saying there’s no chase car anymore isn’t fraud if there’s no chase car anymore. I just haven’t seen any video proof yet of new rides in the past couple days.

      They’ve said they’ve removed drivers from inside the taxis, then put them in cars trailing the taxis.
      Now they said there’s no chase car anymore, and there isn’t, because they put the driver back in the taxi again.
      Both statements were technically correct, but purposefully misleading to bump the stock by a few billion right before earnings call.

        I think we gotta give them more than 24h after he says something is now happening to see if it is happening or not?

        It’s going to come out soon enough either way.

      Remember the Tesla Semi? They had videos transporting either empty boxes or potato chips, literally the least dense cargo possible.

        I really don’t care about anything of that, what you’re doing is called moving the goal post.

        You baselessly claimed they committed fraud on the earnings call by saying something, which we truly don’t know if they did or didn’t yet. Maybe they did, maybe they didn’t, we’ll find out soon enough.
