It's the best selling vehicle in the US over 100k.

I see them all the time
Yeah from rich influencers who bought and/or received/gifted them. The average joe aint buying that crap. Besides, my point is, its trash and it looks like a pos. Theres tons of reports of it of failing quality wise. There was also news of insurance companies dropping support of it due to how poorly designed it is.

Anyway:

meh, robot looks like some gimmick for rich people to impress their friends at parties

not sure why elon thought it was a good idea to burn the bridge with his progressive following and cozy up with the conservatives who mostly hate the type of future he is trying to sell. makes no sense to me from a business POV

we could have a made a lot of money together elon (੭ ˊ^ˋ)੭

I'm buying multiple of these bots.

And yes. Self Driving is insanely good now, I have a Tesla with FSD.

The last few updates have been substantial. You aren't even required to touch the steering wheel as of late. Summoning works really well too.

I see them just driving around dude. Like several times a day. I agree and I wouldn’t buy one but you can’t say they’re not popular.

The Model Y was the best selling vehicle worldwide in 2023.

In 2024 it's the 2nd best selling vehicle in the US so far.

It's popular.

Edit: just read back, saw you were talking Cybertruck.

The normal Teslas with FSD do this now at a short range. The range is going to be expanded over time. I have one and use it, it's great.

Yeah but you could still technically get busted for drink driving? Without a steering wheel I'd just have my own personal taxi. Which could graft while im sleeping. Sounds too good to be true.

I never go far so this sound perfect for me.

Edit: Thinking about it this is awesome. It could do my airport runs and drop me and pick me up from gigs.

$20-$30k, “biggest product ever of any kind” lol. Oh Elon

These things will likely never be that cheap, won’t be useful at a house for decades at best and Tesla’s version looks like shit.

That thing waddling around slowly serving drinks was hilarious looking though.

Elon and the guy before are terrible presenters. That would have been much better if delivered with enthusiasm. They should hire Reggie.

The whole dog and pony show only existed to try to stave off investors fleeing the stock. People are getting wise to Eon BS-ing about timelines, pricing, functionality…. everything.

His companies still do good work but TSLA is so massively inflated partly because people used to just believe what he said lol

Allowing his company to put taxis on the road with no steering wheels will get people killed. He's lied about almost everything and hasn't demonstrated they can do it. Other far more competent companies are already beating them to the punch. The guy is a national security risk and a con artist.

This is cool until the Tesla bots start mating us so that they can start selling human beings to do menial house labor for them.

who else is making this stuff or trying to push it to mass production. It could very well be the next leap in technology.

I’d pay any price if someone could make me an Android to be with my son after I’m gone. Especially if it would abide by my living will.

I just hope one day this stuff can help with home care.
But also.... making a robot that can lift a person over 120kg means if they "malfunction", it's going to fuckin' hurt.

Cretinously credulous
Yeah you guys in the US be the Guinea pigs for it. Its cool and all but that thing in my house will keep me awake at night 100%.

Maybe in a decade people will be guinea pigs lol

I noticed social media is flooded with stories about "Tesla released it's robot and you can buy it for $30k" when even Musk says 2027 (which likely means 3-4 times as long) and the price is total pulled out of his ass as well.

It comes off like such a pipe dream. This is the stuff Isaac Asimov wrote about his entire life. Everything from iRobot to Robbie.

Tesla nailed the reveal. I’m sure someone watches those bipedal droids on YouTube and hopefully it’ll trend across social media. To me, this should be a sign that we are almost there.

Who will sell an android in our lifetime? Elon Musk wants to sell us an electric vehicle and an android maid in the years to come. Again, this could just be a pipe dream.
