    I agree with you two. I'm an engineer and have been researching Tesla since 2015. Recently added a lot to it because I believe in Robotaxi. And even if they don't hit that. I still believe in SAAS revenue on a quality FSD system.

    • @trina2100
      @trina2100 27 дней назад +1

      Agreed. I think the FSD system will drive auto sales and at a price of $100 per month we just need the economy to improve (which it will eventually) and ppl will easily spend $100 per month for the service. There's so many use cases. Parents with kids who want the added safety of an FSD system, older ppl who have trouble seeing at night or who simply stopped driving due to the craziness of it all, people who travel to new cities frequently, the list goes on and on. I think it will become almost a necessity for some folks even if it never becomes a robot taxi.

    There is 0 chance of Robotaxi being released soon. I do believe it is just a distraction. Robotaxi can not be released without FSD being completed and going through regulatory approval since the Taxi will not have a steering wheel. When we actually see unsupervised FSD on the HWY we will know that the robotaxi is close . As far as production goes, the only way any manufacturing/tooling is started for robotaxi is if it shares a platform with another vehicle since I do not see them spending money today for a vehicle which is not sellable.

    More than double previous versions. Tesla needs to get the word out to retirement communities here in Florida, especially those communities that have carports instead of garages. Install prefab FSD chargers in communities. Build it they will come.

    I don’t think by any stretch that Model 3 and Model Y are at their peak of what they can sell. They are fantastic products that the market is yet to open up for once there is a mindset to shift completely to EV’s. FSD should accelerate that and bind people to the Tesla brand. There is a period of hesitancy at the moment due to macro issues that is bound to pass I think. It’s just the Start for Y and 3. There is a need for their category as a robotaxi too.

    Amen Brothers! For Risk Mitigation and benefits of vertical integration, Tesla must run a significant RoboTaxi pilot.

That said, after the Tesla LRIP (robo and employee tests), then slowly manage both the Robo and Compact roll-outs.

    If there is not some sort of supervision of current owners putting their vehicles into a ride share fleet with a guarantee of quality of maintenance, ‘bad’ owners could quickly give a bad reputation to the service.

    Snarky web answer: it’s both 😊.
    Once the public gets used to the idea quality difference in FSD experiences will matter, and a significant number will always opt for a human driver for a generation. No one else has the data Tesla does, and even BYD would take years to catch up. Given all that, many car makers will opt for taking the easy way out and licensing in FSD per the model proposed recently on X, I think by either WholeMars or JamesCat…

Updates to Model 3 & Y will buy some time, but does Tesla have plans for future cars in the US that people can drive? Tesla needs to communicate their plans with more detail than an X post.

    I believe there has never been a more clear cut example of “a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.” Our bird in the hand IS the Tesla compact vehicle. To wait for both “robo” vehicle and model 2 to mature will take longer to ramp and longer to return cash to Tesla. Additionally, to heavily discount existing vehicles ( 3 & Y ) shows weakness in the brand. To avoid “Osborning” the 3 & Y offer 0% financing on those models only. A hefty mandatory down payment in exchange for 0% will add perceived value while keeping margins in tact, hallelujah! Tesla will need to prime the financial lending pump at some point. Zero % interest financing is a sales magnet, fact. The model 2 would need no lending discount and will sell like hotcakes. It’s tough for all of us to stomach the time lag for our investment returns. Let’s hope this wait pays off while we’re still breathing.

    If FSD is complete then the best track to sustainable energy and to rollout to full production is robotaxi. In addition to everything else, it would accelerate changing the way much of the world looks at owning vehicles that spend most of their time idle but not cost free.
    Without FSD complete, you step back to a compact consumer vehicle until FSD is complete.
    Robotaxi could become the main purchaser of used Teslas with reduced battery range due to age and would significantly change the value of used Teslas.

    I’m curious what your rational is regarding the likelihood that people will be able to use their vehicles as robotaxi’s. It seams that there are a number of benefits to that model. 1. It’s another way to let individuals produce income. (Elon will want other’s to profit from FSD and maybe not just other large companies). 2. It seams likely to me that the robotaxi is going to be a 2 seater vehicle, thus the model 3, Y, etc.. will be a higher tear option for people who want more riders and/or. More comfort. 3. Easy way to distribute services quickly and have others manage the vehicle without needing additional infrastructure. I’m hard pressed to think of downsides other than being able to manage quality (possible with a review structure) and liability.. solving with insurance expansion.

    I'm not sure why we're so focused on robot taxi as if that is the only bullet in the gun? Get a fully functional FSD system at $99 per month and market market market. When interest rates are lowered and all ppl see are ads showing these cars (same price as your Toyota Camry for example) with the ability to drive itself sales will sky rocket. Every commercial should be targeted towards a certain type of consumer that FSD will benefit. Ppl will start seeing it as a no brainer. If robo taxi comes down the line great. If the $25k car comes down the line, great. I think we start with the existing fleet getting fully functional FSD at an affordable price and market the hell out of it. Grab the ppl that can afford 3YXS and then come out with the cheaper car later. Hopefully that will coincide with lowered interest rates which most ppl in that price bracket will need anyway. Some ppl will stretch to get a 3 because nothing cheaper is available. If the $25k is available now they'll just get that instead.

    When you sell a car to consumers there is pressure to push down the price in order to be profitable. The robotaxi is the 25k car but there is actually less important for this car to be cheap to produce. You want to be able to produce them in very large numbers. Tesla think the gross profit per robotaxi is 30k per year so if the car cost 20k to produce the cost will be repaid in less than a year but lets say it was 60k to produce, even in this case it would only take 2 years to cover the cost. Then you would have 9 more years of 30k profits.
    I think any tesla car could be a robotaxi. The cybertruck would be great as a robotaxi, imagine how many would pay more to show up to the party with a cybertruck.

    I suspect that Tesla just laid off more than 14,000 employees not because EV adoption is slowing down in the USA but because of the price war in China initiated by BYD. I don't think all the other Chinese brands were that willing to go into the price war because they don't have the cost advantages of BYD.

    People mistakenly believe that Tesla is in some kind of downturn. They don't understand the macroeconomic situation. You have mortgage rates over 7%. I spent 15 years in the mortgage industry and can tell you that every few years people refinance their house and consolidate everything into that new loan. With mortgage rates over 7% they can't do that. Their current mortgage is down in the threes and they can't refinance at 7%. This means the vast majority of people cannot afford a new car right now. If and when things improve and interest rates come down a little bit, something below 5% for mortgage, that's close enough that people could justify refinancing and consolidating. But until then, robotaxi is the way to go because it does not require people to purchase a new car. By the time the Fed decides to lower interest rates again, Tesla could have a million robotaxis on the road. This means another million cars feeding into FSD data, plus the existing cars and any new sales, plus repeat buyers who trade in their car every 3 to 5 years. You're going to be looking at over 3 million new Teslas in a couple of years. The whole thing looks impressive if you just get past the fact that it's just a car company.

    Herbert: Model 3 is old, old. Can’t reduce it to $25k, even at zero profit, needs a total redesign. So much new tech introduced, needs integration. $25k is difficult price to meet, hence unboxed assembly, discussion over no paintshop.
    Hans: Spot on. Tesla has advantage in FSD autonomy, why cater for low profit market? - leave market to manufacturers of dumb cars. Profit & utility potential of taxis far superior to private cars.
    Don’t force smart people to do dumb stuff.

    Tesla Robo Taxi will be regulated by States and will be limited to how many will be allowed. I pretty sure they will need to be monitor live 24/7 in case something goes wrong with the car or in case of an emergency and if someone disable and sole the car. The State will require high liability Insurance in case the car gets into an accident and passenger get hurt or killed so it most likely be really expensive to own a Robo Taxi business. State will control what area and routes a Robo Taxi will be able to go with in the State and will be only register to that State. That is why Tesla is just another car company as all their revenues come from the sale of cars. So, it will be a big mistake not to make the $25,000 car first priority before the Robo Taxi.

    There are approximately 15 Million Uber and Lyft vehicles on the road. It seems possible that 10 Million of those could become RoboTaxis. If Tesla can produce 2 Mil Robotaxis a year it will take Tesla 5 years to get there.

    The unboxed design will enable Tesla to remain a lowest-cost leader in the production and life-cost accounting for operation and servicing with minimized downtime and maximized time-convenience for EVs of all types. Scale will also remain important for achieving the best EV affordability fundamental to the Tesla mission. These factors combine to enable new lowest-cost / highest-value designs for compact EVs, as well as next gen Model S, 3, X, Y and CTs, regardless of the timing of Robotaxi's actual availability, plus Robotaxi's/FSD's ongoing improvements applicable for ALL Teslas and possible non-Tesla licensees of FSD/Robotaxi functionality.
    Acceleration of Tesla's next gen unboxed model(s) more specifically optimized for Robotaxi functionality is needed primarily due to the step-change and more rapid acceleration in FSD's capability experienced with the recent shift to the Neural Network based controls.

    Even if robotaxi comes, who is going to use it? Not convenient at all for daily commute (peak demand during peak traffic hours and low demand during off peak hours. So it's definitely not for commute. There is no way to increase it's utilization to 5x...

    I would not be happy if Tesla pushes the new model into late 26. That is not what investors had been promised. I’m very hopeful that Tesla will launch a new Model Y by early 2025. Unless Elon announces a very near term revenue opportunity for FSD on 8/8, we will likely be screwed as shareholders for at least 12-18 months. Those that scream we must be long term investors. I’ve been in Tesla for almost 4 years and my investments are very down, as i buy down. My investment horizon from here is 10-15 years, but my retirement is 4. This is not where I expected to be with Tesla compared to my other major company investments. Hopefully Elon gets his court win and board wins, as deserved.
    The model 3 is not small and many want a more compact car and want a newer form vehicle. Those that think most people don’t care about new body styles, they are wrong.

    • @AudiTTQuattro2003

      Ah, reality...how refreshing. Tesla could go broke before FSD hits level 5 (or 4 even). Not saying it will, but assuming it won't or can't is just overly optimistic.

    if they are making a lot of recurring revenue on a robotaxi, then you can lower the price of the 3 and Y to zero or even negative margins. you no longer have to profit on them. plus they'd still have FSD capability. It's like the XBox/PS5. they make no money on the hardware. all the money is made on games and subs.

    I am ready for RoboTaxi now! I don't own a car in the US for the first time in 63 years (driving since 16, 79YO now.) I am healthier by walking, and take Ubers when needed around town, and rentals for long trips. The expected 2 seat RoboTaxi would be great for most around trips, but having the option of S or X for trips to the airport with luggage would be perfect.
