Model S was the most successful EV. If you think cybercab is the vehicle of the future, look at the timeline of the only robo taxi in commerce in the US.

Everything has to go right with that, or cybercab will be irrelevant before it works. Same deal. Same bullshitter.

Model S was successful until Model 3/Y blew it out of the water. Waymo’s timeline is not relevant because they lose money on every car and every deployment. Tesla’s the only financially successful developer of self driving. They can scale it up much faster.In fact, instead of making $5k per car produced, cybercab will net them $50k per car per year.

The world doesn't consist of just Waymo and Tesla, and even if it did there's no guarantee either succeeds.

> cybercab will net them $50k per car per year.

Assuming no mass boycotts, nor targeted vandalism. We've already seen both in the last 12 months.

It’ll be fine. Especially when people compare the price of ownership/uber to robotaxis.

This is completely false. Audi and Chevrolet both have self driving as good as Tesla.

This would literally only be said by a person who hasn’t tried fsd14 so do yourself a favor and go for a test ride of a Tesla and Audi/Chevrolet and report back. They are not comparable.

They sure as hell do not. SuperCruise only worked in pre mapped areas and bails whenever there's construction or deviation to plan. It's analogous to Tesla AP2 at best.

FSD works EVERYWHERE, almost any time.

97% of their sales are model 3 / Y
