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

  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.

      So far it seems to be zero, or one of the many Youtubers who’ve been hailing Tesla taxis all day long in order to be the first would have uploaded by now.

        You know what, I saw someone transcribe the quote, and I don’t think they were claiming there are passengers in the cars with no chase vehicles

        “We were able to do our first rides with no safety monitor in the car in Austin — these are paid rides, so these were just randomly paid rides with no safety monitor, and [umm] maybe as of maybe yesterday or so we actually don’t even have a chase car or anything like that so these are just cars with no people in them and no one’s following the car in Austin.”

        these are just cars with no people in them and no one’s following the car in Austin.

        So ya we might not get any videos or proof of this statement.

  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.
