    In a different time the SEC would have been all over this obvious stock market manipulation.

    Anyone else feel like Tesla is actually how Elon is being paid for being the one to make twitter fascist and the DOGE bs? Like the majority of shareholders don’t actually gaf how the company does and the billion dollar compensation package had nothing to do with Tesla other than it being the vehicle through which the payment was made?

    This is the same CEO who has promised “full self-driving next year” every year since 2018.

    This is just plain lying by electrek…he started promising “self-driving next year” long before that.

      I don’t think it was next year every year before that?

      It was just very soon before that.

    Anything to distract from the fact that they’re a car company selling fewer and fewer cars.

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

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

    I followed a link in that article to this one: Tesla didn’t remove the Robotaxi ‘safety monitor’ – it just moved them to a trailing car:

    When Musk says there’s “no safety monitor in the car,” he’s technically telling the truth, the monitor is in a different car, following right behind. But the implication that Tesla has achieved true unsupervised autonomy is misleading at best.

      On the earnings call, they claim (I haven’t seen proof yet) that the chase car has been removed now.

        Remember when the SEC used to call this fraud?

      Tesla has achieved remote control driving. It’s the only taxi service that has 2 cars per fare.

        So instead of just paying a human driver for a taxi they have instead decided to use 2 whole cars AND a human driver. That’s peek efficiency there.

      Double your traffic congestion, or your money back!

      . . . or not, since I’ve never heard of Tesla voluntarily refunding anything.

    Herr Musk is a lying nazi, and anyone holding Tesla is a fool and will get what they deserve

      I’m not so sure that everyone holding Tesla is going to get what they deserve anymore.

      I agree they should get it, though.
