Tesla Unveils Full Self-Driving for Cybertruck and Teases Major Robotaxi Launch
  • The upcoming Robotaxi event is touted by CEO Elon Musk as one of Tesla's most significant launches, second only to the Model 3 introduction.

  • A highlight of the event may be the unveiling of the Cybercab prototype, which is expected to resemble a two-door sedan akin to the Model 3.

  • Demonstrations of the Robotaxi are planned on Hollywood set stages, generating excitement among investors and fans who believe it could revolutionize transportation.

  • There is optimism that the Robotaxi could redefine transportation and decrease the necessity for personal vehicle ownership.

  • Musk has suggested that successfully implementing unsupervised FSD could significantly increase asset value, potentially allowing Teslas to earn substantial annual robotaxi fares.

  • Unlike competitors that rely on simulations, Tesla gathers data from various driving conditions, enabling its AI to learn and improve continuously.

  • Achieving true autonomy would represent a major breakthrough for Tesla, comparable to a 'ChatGPT moment' for the company.

  • Analysts predict that the event will showcase version 12.5 or later of the FSD technology, likely on a closed or semi-closed course.

  • Tesla has initiated the rollout of its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software to Cybertruck owners, a feature that was not available at the vehicle's launch last November.

  • The release notes emphasize that this is an early access build, urging owners to remain vigilant and attentive while using the FSD feature.

  • Drivers must understand that FSD (Supervised) does not equate to full autonomy and requires their supervision at all times.

  • In response to declining sales, Tesla is accelerating the launch of more affordable models and implementing global price cuts, alongside a workforce reduction of 10%.
