Analysts criticise lack of detail about the ‘robotaxi’ showcased by CEO Elon Musk
Tesla shares fell nearly 9% on Friday, wiping about $60bn (£45bn) from the company’s value, after the long-awaited unveiling of its so-called robotaxi failed to excite investors.
Shares in the electric carmaker tumbled to $217 at market close following an event in Hollywood, where the chief executive, Elon Musk, revealed a much-hyped driverless vehicle. The stock price is down roughly 12% year-to-date.

However, analysts said the event was short on detail and also expressed disappointment over a lack of specifics about other Tesla projects. Musk has a history of making grand projections about upcoming products and failing to follow through in the timeframe he has set, or at all.
Bro. Just one more year bro. I swear bro. Just one more year and we’ll have full self driving bro.
Don’t lose faith bro. Or I’ll sue you and call you a pedo guy.
They could easily do it in a year by purchasing Waymo.
Isn’t Waymo driverless like my RC car is driverless?
No, what makes you think that? I understand doubting Elon, but Waymo works great day in and out. The only bad incident I know of with them was when another vehicle with a person driving hit a pedestrian that threw the pedestrian under a Waymo, and they had to update the software to know what to do when a person spawns under the vehicle. Horrible, yes. But one of their cars wouldn’t have hit the pedestrian to start.
Your RC car has level 4 autonomy?
Imagine drinking this much Kool-Aid.
Are you referring to the use of SAE classifications or the assertion that Waymos are level 4?
Yeah, but only if you believe the propaganda by the IEEE, the lobbying arm of the international electronics and electrical engineer cartels.
