Anything to distract from the fact that they're a car company selling fewer and fewer cars.
Tesla isn't a car company, it's a techbro company. They don't sell cars, they sell the idea that any day now they'll achieve a technological breakthrough.
But it's becoming obvious that won't happen, so they now pivot to robots. Selling the idea that they'll achieve a breakthrough in that space soon.
Those buying the products aren't the target audience, the investors are. The customers are just useful cattle.
Ah but now they're going to be a robot company selling fewer and fewer robots instead.
People in robot suits you mean
And an ai company with no ai product
4D chess....the Optimus robots will drive the cabs.
That would be hilarious and such a malicious way to get the taxi number and robot number for the pay package.
Steve Buscemi's greatest role.
But they can't sell fewer than zero! Egads, Tesla has found a way to never shrink their business anymore!
