As Tesla's profits sink, Musk reaches for an autonomous future.

As Tesla car sales faltered, Musk delivered an optimistic pivot: Tesla isn’t a car company.

This is a decent summary of the earnings call. The car sales were down and boring. Elon didn’t like talking about those. Instead, the bulk of the earnings call was on Robotaxis, AI, and Optimus (bipedal robot).

Yes, a throwaway line on Model 2 was also mentioned, but its unclear what the specific plans for that are. Cybertruck and Tesla Semi were also discussed, but not Roadster.

    Ah, Robotaxis. I forgot… when were they supposed to hit the market? 5 years ago or something?

        That will not happen unless the USA standardizes all the traffic control equipment and signs. The EU is much closer.

      There are already other companies with robotaxis in operation, so Tesla has thoroughly missed that market.
