19 favourite reactions to Tesla’s newly unveiled futuristic Robovan
Once again, Elon Musk is promising self-driving vehicles for wider use, just over the horizon. At the launch of Tesla’s autonomous robotaxi, Cybercab, he said it would be in production before 2027 – although, he also joked about his own record of over-optimistic predictions.

At the same We, Robot event in California, Musk predicted the future of babysitting would be Tesla’s Optimus robot.

“The future should look like the future.”

Elon has been growing desperate after the catastrophic launch of the cybertruck and slowing Tesla growth so he’s throwing a Hail Mary with his plans for robotaxis and let me tell you: this is never going to happen. pic.twitter.com/wRYMKQ44Px
