Tesla Sends Out Invitations for Robotaxi Event: Here’s the Full Scoop
Tesla is gearing up for a significant milestone event, inviting selected guests to its Robotaxi showcase titled “We, Robot.” The company began distributing invitations at around 5 p.m. EDT on Wednesday. Slated for October 10, this event promises to reveal groundbreaking advancements in Tesla’s fully autonomous vehicle platform.
Originally slated for August 8, the event faced a delay as CEO Elon Musk desired some critical design revisions. He hinted at broader disclosures to be made during this updated showcase.
"Requested what I think is an important design change to the front, and extra time allows us to show off a few other things," Musk tweeted on July 15, 2024.
Analyst Insights on Tesla’s Robotaxi Event
The upcoming event has generated diverse opinions from industry analysts:
-
Dan Ives, Wedbush:
“While the knee-jerk reaction will clearly be negative on a delay of August 8th based on this report that just hit, we believe the timing of robotaxis, partnerships, and the ultimate autonomous and AI-driven technology does not change at all for our bullish Tesla thesis. To some extent, we believe this 2-month delay could just make the actual Robotaxi event and prototypes even better.” -
Mark Delaney, Goldman Sachs:
“Whether Tesla provides more details or unveils the new lower-cost model at the 10/10 event has also been a frequent topic in our investor discussions.” -
Ben Kallo, Baird:
“We see the launch of a lower-priced vehicle as a positive for volume estimates in 2025. However, we note that switching production to enable a new vehicle would likely come with some factory downtime, which may create lumpiness in deliveries.” - Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley:
"Heading into Tesla’s 10/10 robotaxi event, we are, frankly, struggling to see how the day can live up to investors’ high expectations. Other than demonstrating FSD v12.5 and offering rides in a Gen 1 ‘Cybertcab,’ what else is in store?"
