- A complete autonomous not supervised will be launched in Austin, Texas, in June
- Musk says that more affordable models will see Tesla return to growth
- Does that seem familiar? Tesla CEO promised all of this before
Tesla’s quarterly calls are always entertaining affairs, the CEO of the company apparently uses them as a platform to promise things that, most often, do not materialize.
The most recent results in the fourth quarter, 2024 revealed that the company had missed its income expectations, which dropped the Tesla action price by 4% after the news – although it has rebounded, according to Forbes .
Part of this can be attributed to the fact that Musk followed the blister mode with the insurance of several major steps in 2025 – without detailed investors and the general public.
First of all, Musk claims that the company will launch a full sales conduct unattended from June this year, the project should be deployed in Austin, Texas. However, rather than offering service to the large number of customers who have already paid to unlock the software, Musk says it will rather be a “paid service”.
The details are, predictably, rare, but the fact that it is presented as a separate entity to complete software on the self-commissioner of customers probably means that it will appear in the form of an automobile service Autonomous geofized. You know, similar to what Waymo does successfully. Waymo, a company that now operates in four major American cities.
In another decision to strengthen investors’ confidence, Musk also revealed that Tesla intended to produce more “affordable” vehicles, which are based on (and strangely resembling) model 3 and model Y, but the Cost in the region from $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 (around £ 28,000 / $ 55,000 in). Not the $ 25,000 car that was supposed to be last year.
The production of this more affordable model should start in the first half of 2025, according to Electk, although the company does not reveal any details on the design, specifications or what the customer can expect.
A large part of the predicted growth of Elon Musk for the company depends on the growing levels of autonomous driving that go to public roads, the CEO re-reading that we will see self-deputy unattended in California and Texas in the second quarter of 2025.
But this has been promised on several occasions (from 2016) and the feeling completely ignores the fact that the legal framework to allow such technology on public roads still does not exist.
Analysis: the boastful becomes boring
Elon Musk is a character of division, and it is easy to get caught in his wild clairvoyance or to become frustrated by the quantity of fantasy which is promised and rarely delivered.
This is part of the reason why the company has aroused such a faithful and aggressive fans of fans. No other car manufacturer divides opinion like Tesla.
It’s a shame, because this division takes away so much what the company has achieved – mainly creating one of the most reliable load networks on the planet and producing not only the best -selling electric vehicles but the best -selling car in world (it’s the Y model).
The emphasis on the unleumed self-commissioner seems to be counter-intuitive, because rival companies, like Waymo, are leagues to come in the geofendis and autonomous driving game, obtaining hundreds of thousands of kilometers without disengagement (where A human must intervene) or incident.
Personally, I would like to see Tesla start doing what she does best – mainly producing electric vehicles and technologies that people want to buy, rather than this endless memes, media threshing and extremely optimistic promises.
