Tesla Robotaxi reveal: What to expect

Tesla is gearing up to reveal its Robotaxi this Thursday, and everyone wants to know what it will look like, whether Tesla will unveil a commercialization

Musk has referred to the robotaxi as a Cybercab, which seems to confirm the design concept revealed last year in Walter Isaacson’s biography of the executive – a two-door, two-seater, Cybertruck-like compact vehicle, complete with angular edges and a stainless steel finish. The studio in question is open to the public for tours, so visitors (who are mainly Tesla shareholders and superfans) will get the chance to be dazzled by the sets of Batman, Friends, Gilmore Girls, The Big Bang Theory, Harry Potter and other titles. There will be plenty of hype and chatter about Musk’s vision of an autonomous future, during which the executive will likely make the same argument that Uber made a decade ago about the possibilities for shared rides – it will be so easy and cheap to hail an AV, that people won’t need to own their own vehicles.
