Anything to distract from the fact that they're a car company selling fewer and fewer cars.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 weeks ago

Ah but now they're going to be a robot company selling fewer and fewer robots instead.

People in robot suits you mean

[-] CheeseNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

iirc the robots worked but were remotely piloted? I can totally see a brand of rich person who would rather have the 'staff' be physically off site.

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 3 points 3 weeks ago

They didn't work that well either.

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.

And an ai company with no ai product

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.

I though they were a stock company, since that's all they sell.
