So it’s a taxi.
Motherfucker loves trying to reinvent the wheel only to end up at the goddamn wheel.
“I’ma invent a giant system that goes underground so we can move people around faster!” That’s a subway, you santorum-covered condom.
Par for the course for techbros. His hyperloop was a shittier train. UberPool is a shittier bus. All these dumbfucks grow up being told they’re the specialest boys, so of course people who made better things before them were clearly wrong.
Hyperloop was a raging success - it stopped funding of railway. I believe he even admitted that this was behind it to begin with.
Luckily only in Murica.
The liberal parties here tried to make the same argument here, but luckily no one takes them seriously (in Europe this means something different, than in the US. It’s not progressive/left-leaning, they are more like Libertarians/Republicans. They don’t hate gay people, but hate paying taxes and regulations)
Wait, who actually likes paying taxes?

A shittier version of the wheel.
An oval.
Isn’t the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?
Hahahaha
Edit: oh fuck I thought you were just making a joke. Jesus fucking Christ.
Terrible name for a terrible design. Yoke style steering wheels are not safe for cars because they create awkward handholds as they rotate.
Yoke style works in planes and race cars where they aren’t rotated 360+ degrees regularly, rarely over 90 degrees either direction.
If it made sense, Saab would have done it.
I cringed. I don’t know if you made that up or not, and the fact that I genuinely can’t tell made me sad for this stupid timeline.
Apparently it fucking is. God I hate everything.
An X... New rimless cross spoke omnidirectional wheel
Musky naming something involving X.
Challenge: Impossible.
AKA…the “New and Improved Wheel”. It’s all about the marketing.
props for the accurate use of “santorum.”
“Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.”
-Elon Musk
For ‘driving’ reasons.
Imagine that job though. It is your job to be a scapegoat for traffic collisions.
I can imagine very few people will be lining up for that job.
There is a lot of people willing to lick Musky’s taint.
The “human driver” in question:
Hey man, I got 5 kids to feed
I’m planning to launch a human-only taxi service, but to cut costs the humans will be AI.
I must say, it’s been a little nicer not having this dipshit in the headlines every single fucking day. I guess he’s going to start saying things again and fuck with my peace of mind.
I think Musk should 100% trust his fucking piece of shit robotaxi tech and use it exclusively. Good chance it drives him off a bridge.
I thought it was a 2 seater with no controls. Lemme guess… It’s a fleet of Model 3s.
Cybertrucks pulling wooden carts.
Gotta do something with all that extra and unsellable inventory.
The driver fits in the trunk.
Ah, so the Model S.
Why do you think that Teslas have a “frunk”? It’s for holding the driver, of course.
Didn’t Tesla choose not to allow Tesla vehicle lessee’s to not buy their cars so they can convert them to robo taxis and also software upgrade them so sell at a higher price in the certified pre-owned market?
That was the initial plan but it hit a number of roadblocks.
-
The release of the Robotaxi product was much delayed, and had Tesla kept to the “no buyout of leased cars” they would have been swimming in returned vehicles with nothing to do with them yet.
-
The policy was put in place at a time when the autonomous hardware was thought to be the “final” version (referred to as Hardware 3). It turns out the “final” version wasn’t powerful enough, so a new final version was released (Hardware 4). So all the cars that were leased were not going to be useful as taxi cabs, so they offered those for sale to their leasers.
-
The purpose built one coming in 2026 is a 2 seater. This launch is using the new Model Y’s
Oh so it’ll be a fleet of Model Y’s.
To start ya. It’ll eventually be all their models, we’ll… probably not the CT.
Remember his robots - ROFL
Waymo doesn’t need it, but he does? lol
Waymo have laser beams on their heads.

Tech bros doing tech bro shit. Lord knows we didnt have taxis before.
Is the human able to get out and pee? Does it have le…like, a body? With legs? Or more like RoboCop? “Accidentally” dead person comes back to life in taxi form.
Diapers. And an electric explosive collar if they try to run. Its cheaper than sending them to.el salvador.
This is exactly what happened with his stupid Hyperloop
yeah, totally not to keep the robotaxis from being molotoved. although after what musk did, not sure the presence of drivers will stop people.
Tesla’s brand of self driving is unsafe, you say?
