Hello everyone, I'm a duck duck
Old fans know that Ben Duck is a "minimalist"!
To put it bluntly, we pay attention to a "if it is not necessary, do not increase the entity".
For example, our hair, if you have one, it is not bald, and it is properly minimalist
Cough, back to the point.
In the car circle, there is also such a minimalist car company, which is Tesla.
You look at this interior, a rough room
This is not the end, everyone knows that the ultimate goal of electric vehicles is to achieve automatic driving.
So according to the principle of "minimalism", we are all on autopilot, do we still need the steering wheel and throttle brakes?
So this time, Musk directly took out the Tesla Robotaxi (self-driving taxi) without steering wheel and no brakes/throttle.
According to Lao Ma, the Robotaxi will be operated by fully autonomous driving FSD software:
"We're also working on a new vehicle, which I mentioned at the opening of Tesla's GigaTexas."
"It's a specialized robotaxi that's highly optimized for autonomous driving, which means it won't have a steering wheel or pedals."
Musk also added:
"There's a lot of innovation around it, and I think it's pretty exciting."
"It's trying to achieve the lowest cost per kilometer and I think it's going to be a very strong product."
According to Musk's estimates, riding a self-driving taxi will cost less than a subsidized bus ticket.
It is worth mentioning that Tesla's current goal is to achieve mass production of self-driving taxis in 2024, and Tesla is currently planning to hold the unveiling of this model next year.
Harm, to duck said, we have omitted the steering wheel and pedals, it is better not to do two without stopping, directly save the driver also.
So that our taxi can fill five people at a time?
But then again, although Tesla's belief in "minimalism" is really cost-effective, in March this year, Tesla directly rose three times in a row.
As for the reason for the price increase, Tesla said that it is mainly because of the rising cost of raw materials.
Tesla said that despite several price increases, the challenges of supply chain and input costs continue:
In addition to chip shortages, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 has also affected supply chains and factory operations.
In addition, in recent months, the prices of some raw materials have risen several times.
Although we continue to focus on reducing manufacturing costs, inflation still has an impact on the cost structure, prompting us to adjust product prices.
A taxi without steering wheels and brakes, would you dare to sit?

Let the ducks and ducks see how many people there are!
