The long-awaited Tesla Robotaxi is finally here.
Musk himself appeared on the Tesla RoBotaxi without a steering wheel and pedals:
Also revealed is Tesla's RoboVan, which is also completely unmanned, can seat 20 people, and can also pull goods:
And the most shocking is the humanoid robot Optimus Prime, who poured tea and gave gifts to the guests on the spot:
However, this time Musk preached on stage for half an hour, but Tesla's market value evaporated by 215.6 billion.
What's going on?
What kind of Robotaxi did Tesla send
Before the official start of the live broadcast, Tesla has released the exterior and interior of the Robotaxi model:
First of all, look at the appearance, the overall look is relatively novel and unique.
The side profile is a bit like a sedan:
The rear of the car is a fastback with continuous taillights:
The interior center console is still a large screen, and the most striking thing is that the car has eliminated the steering wheel!!
Musk opens the supercar-style door:
Sitting in such a car, I came to the press conference:
After taking the stage, Musk once again emphasized that the cost of Tesla's Robotaxi or CyberCab is very low, and the cost of the whole vehicle is less than 30,000 US dollars, that is, less than 210,000 yuan, and now the transportation cost per kilometer is about 1 US dollar (equivalent to about 7 yuan).
After the rollout in the future, the cost will continue to fall and will be as low as more than 1 yuan per kilometer. Musk expects the car to reach high sales by 2027.
Is it possible to buy 1 car and let it go out to live?
You might as well be bold and set up a fleet. Because Musk said:
"One person can manage one convoy, just like a shepherd manages a flock."
The way to replenish energy is wireless charging, and there is no need to wash the car yourself, Musk also showed an automatic car washing machine, which will clean the car while charging:
Musk said that Robotaxi's autonomous driving hardware will be a new generation of AI5, and it is expected to launch unsupervised FSD, that is, true autonomous driving, in Texas and California next year.
I didn't have time to shock the Cybercab too much for a moment, and the one who appeared immediately was Cybervan:
Tesla's version of the "minibus" is dual-purpose for carrying people and goods.
The manned function was demonstrated on site, capable of seating 20 people, and the interior was decorated with white interior, a bit like a bus:
But the seats are arranged in pairs facing each other:
In addition to the two new cars, Musk also showed off a wave of Optimus on the spot, which has made great progress compared to the last appearance.
Optimus danced live and ordered drinks
Musk gave an order, and the Optimus robot Optimus Prime lined up to enter the market:
Musk said that if the Optimus Prime robot can be rolled out in the future, it may only cost 20,000 or 30,000 US dollars, that is, about 200,000 yuan, which is about as cheap as a car.
Musk also emphasized that every earthling can have a robot, what do you buy it for?
Musk gave a few examples, for example, helping you with household chores and sending drinks to friends:
From the car to the interior:
After introducing the three major products, Musk withdrew, but the conference was not completely over.
The camera shows Optimus Prime on the dance floor, dancing to the music:
After the press conference, there is also a suspected Optimus Prime helping you pour wine at the bar:
They can also greet you and wave to you:
Before the start of the press conference, Musk sent a movie poster, hinting that he was envisioning such a future:
We don't need a driver anywhere.
But looking at the whole press conference, maybe Brother Ma is still conservative, and the future of autonomous driving may not be just an industry, based on automatic driving, the robot will be the little brother who will help you bartend in the future, or it may be the confinement aunt...
Did the old horse pull this time?
Probably the expressions of the vast majority of viewers after watching Tesla's Robotaxi live broadcast are like this:
Yes? That's it?
Like the previous debut of Optimus Prime, the announcement of the DOJO supercomputer, the end-to-end onboarding, the debut of the 4680 battery, etc., Tesla's shock of subverting the industry's cognition, this time it is quite meaningful.
The visual effects sci-fi are in place, but RoboVan and Robotaxi have closed venues and simple routes, and they don't show real strength.
The most important technology, Tesla is not talking about it at all. You must know that this is the most important means for Tesla to "create gods" before, and it is also the most direct way for external users, capital, and fans to predict and understand Tesla.
Without technology release, there would be no perception and worship.
Overseas netizens sing more than praise:
"Jobs may be when he sees the quality of this press conference..."
Domestic netizens were looking forward to more shocking products and technologies, but they didn't expect to be confused by Lao Ma's sudden departure from the press conference:
At the end of the press conference, the capital market gave the most real response:
Tesla's stock price fell 4% in night trading, and its market value evaporated by $30.5 billion, or about 215.6 billion yuan.
So do you think, is Musk really alive this time, or is he leaving the big ones behind?
