- The completely supervised autonomous driving will be launched in Austin, Texas, in June
- Musk says that more affordable models will see Tesla return to growth
- Does it sound familiar? The Tesla CEO has promised all this before
Tesla’s quarterly gain calls are always entertaining issues, and the company’s CEO apparently uses them as a platform to enormously promise things that, most of the time, do not materialize.
The most recent results of the fourth quarter of 2024 revealed that the company lost its income expectations, which caused the price of Tesla shares to fall 4% after the news, although it recovered, according to Forbes.
Part of this can be attributed to the fact that Musk was the Blusturs mode with the guarantee of several important milestones in 2025, without the details of the investors and the public yearning in general.
First, Musk says that the company will launch for complete sale without supervision since June of this year, and the project will be implemented in Austin, Texas. However, instead of offering the service to the large number of customers who have already paid to unlock the software, Musk says it will be a “paid service.”
The details are, quite predictably, scarce, but the fact that it is promoting as a separate entity for the client -oriented autonomous driving software, which will probably appear in the form of a geofented autonomous transport service. You know, similar to what Waymo is doing successfully. Waymo, a company that now operates in four main American cities.
In another movement to reinforce investor confidence, Musk also revealed that Tesla intends to produce more “affordable” vehicles, which are based on (and seem disturbly similar to) model 3 and the model and, but the cost in the region from $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 (approximately £ 28,000 / au $ 55,000). It is not the $ 25,000 car that was rumored last year.
The production of this most affordable model is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2025, according to Electrek, although the company does not reveal any detail about the design, the specifications or what the customer can expect.
Much of Elon Musk’s predicted growth for the business depends on growing levels of autonomous driving that reaches public roads, with the CEO reiterating that he believes we will see self -control without supervision in California and Texas in the second quarter of 2025.
But this has been promised many times (already in 2016) and the feeling completely ignores the fact that the legal framework to allow such technology on public roads still does not exist.
Analysis: Bravucón is becoming bored
Elon Musk is a divisive character, and it is easy to be trapped in his wild clairvoyance or frustrated by the amount of fantasy that is promised and is rarely delivered.
It is part of the reason why the company has obtained such a loyal and aggressive fans base. No other car manufacturer divides opinion as Tesla.
It is a pity, because this division takes away a lot what the company has achieved, mainly creating one of the most reliable load networks on the planet and producing not only the best selling EVs but also the best -selling car in the world (that is the Y).
The focus on non -supervised self -conference seems contradictory, since rival companies, such as Waymo, are ahead of the leagues ahead in the geofented and autonomous transport game, qualifying hundreds of thousands of miles without disconnection (where a human has to intervene) or incident.
Personally, I would like to see Tesla do again what it does best, mainly producing EV and technology that people want to buy, instead of this endless current of memes, exaggerations and very optimistic promises.
