Musk has been wanting out retail sales for years because robotaxis is where giga profits will come from.

Now that the AI version of FSD (Ver. 12.3) is out minus 300,000 lines of C++ human written code FSD is proving to be a game changer for the advancement of robotaxis plans. I have experienced more positive FSD technical improvements in the last 7 days than the prior 420 days of daily usage. The free 30-day trial is rolling out to potentially a million more Tesla owners starting now.

It’s my understanding robo-taxi or whatever name….by law you still need a human driver sitting there .
Kinda kills the allure of it, no?

One can understand Apple not wanting to compete with Tesla's USA 50% EV monopoly after learning Tesla finally cracked the Full Self Driving nut using Artificial Intelligence. Since getting the robotaxix into production will take a couple years FSD should be approved in a few test areas in the USA before then.

But Gale promised us a Tesla under $25,000 ! So many of his Tesla fanboy links promised that too ! It has to be true because if we can imagine it ....it will happen ! We should not limit our imaginations to the past ICE legacy ways....sarcasm off now.

But that was before the AI version FSD exploded on the scene last week.

Remember that word " exploded" a couple years from now . It will probably be used in insurance context with crashes and liabilities.
